Abstract
A high-power vircator that is based on the Korvet ironless linear induction electron accelerator built around radial pulse-forming lines is implemente d for the first time. Results on the computer simulation and experimental o ptimization of the vircator are discussed. The experimentally found paramet ers of the vircator are the following: cathode current 35 kA (at a limit cu rrent of 19 kA), microwave pulse base widths 40 and 18 ns, and peak microwa ve power more than 500 MW.
