Abstract
This paper applies a time-frequency analysis to the output signal from a coaxial gyrotron oscillator. It is shown that the voltage fluctuati ons on the diode can be directly correlated to the frequency modulatio n on the rf output. A simple analytic theory is constructed to explain this correlation. This technique, properly extended, is expected to o pen up a new way to investigate pulse shortening, mode competition, no ise and unwanted frequencies in rf generation. [S1063-651X(98)11211-4] .
