Kg. Kostov et al., EXCITATION OF TRANSVERSE ELECTRIC MODES IN AXIALLY EXTRACTED VIRTUAL CATHODE OSCILLATOR, Electronics Letters, 29(12), 1993, pp. 1069-1070
An experimental investigation of an axially extracted virtual cathode
oscillator is presented. The effect of the external magnetic field on
the microwave output is studied. Maximum output power of 5 +/- 2 MW in
the transverse electric (TE) modes is obtained. The microwaves are ge
nerated by the transmitted electron flow.
