Abstract
A periodic-waveguide cyclotron maser is presented in this paper. In th is device, a nonrelativistic electron beam undergoes a cyclotron inter action with traveling waves in an inductive periodic waveguide. Result s of amplifier and oscillator experiments are presented. These experim ents are conducted in the microwave regime (similar to 10 GHz) with lo w-energy (<10 keV), low-current (<1 A) electron beams. Considerable am plification (>10 dB) and rf power (similar to 100) have been measured in the amplifier and oscillator experiments, respectively.
