Abstract
The virtual cathode oscillation dynamics and its microwave generation characteristics in a TM resonant cavity are investigated. It is found that the energy conversion to microwaves reaches a few percent at satu ration time of order 100 omega(p)(-1), where omega(p) is the beam plas ma frequency at injection. Tunable frequency range with the resonant c avity is quite wide(similar to 20%), reflecting that the beam dynamics is capable of adjusting its oscillation frequency due to its inherent chaoticity.
