Ae. Dubinov et Vd. Selemir, Microwave generation features in a vircator with an inhomogeneous magneticfield in the interaction region, TECH PHYS L, 27(7), 2001, pp. 557-559
A vircator with an inhomogeneous external magnetic field superimposed onto
the cathode-anode-virtual cathode potential well was studied by methods of
computer modeling. It is shown that the application of such additional fiel
d allows a significant (almost fivefold) increase in the microwave generati
on efficiency, which is explained by the gyrotron effect development. (C) 2
