Abstract
A multi-electron-beam Cherenkov maser has the potential of using an el ectron beam with large spot and an interaction cavity of large transve rse dimensions with respect to its operation wavelength to generate hi gh-power microwave radiation. This paper describes a joint experimenta l research on such a device in which a multi-dielectric cavity of tran sverse dimensions of 20 mm x 34 mm and a total current of 1036 A at 37 4 kV, in four sheet beams, were employed to generate 9.1 MW microwave radiation at 36.05 GHz. The conversion efficiency was 2.3%.
