Using time domain analysis we have studied the processes of oscillatio
n build-up and spatial synchronization in FELs with two-dimensional di
stributed feedback driven by large size sheet and tubular relativistic
electron beams. It is proved that the proposed feedback mechanism ens
ures powerful spatially coherent radiation when the ratio between the
transverse sized of the electron beam and the wavelength is up to 10(2
)-10(3).
