Abstract
A numerical model is presented for analyzing backward-wave oscillator (BWO) operation in the presence of a constant finite axial magnetic fi eld. The model is appropriate for devices that operate near the upper edge of the transmission band, Analytic calculation of starting curren ts is presented, The operating frequency and efficiency versus magneti c field predicted by the nonlinear numerical simulations are presented .
