Patent No. 4345220
High power microwave generator using relativistic electron beam in waveguide drift tube (Sullivan; Donald J. (Albuquerque, NM), February 12, 1980)
Abstract
Coherent microwave radiation is generated in and transmitted through a waveguide/drift tube by means of an injected relativistic electron beam the parameters of which, in combination with the waveguide/drift tube geometry and dimensions effect a virtual cathode oscillation condition within the waveguide/drift tube. Tuning of the device is accomplished by manipulation of the relativistic electron beam parameters and/or waveguide/drift tube physical dimensions.
