Microwave Generation Power in a Nonrelativistic Electron Beam with Virtual Cathode in a Retarding Electric Field

Authors

Description

The power of microwave generation in a nonrelativistic electron beam with virtual cathode formed in a static retarding electric field (low-voltage vircator system) has been studied experimentally and by means of numerical simulation within the framework of a one-dimensional theory. The limits of applicability of the one-dimensional theory have been experimentally determined.
