Abstract:
A magnetron has a cylindrical cathode portion, an anode portion surrounding the cathode portion concentrically, and a resonator circuit connected to the anode portion. Fine modifying portions are periodically formed on the anode portion in an azimuthal direction to encourage electrons in bunching, thereby reducing a start-oscillation time and noise signals.
Abstract:
A millimeter-wave backward wave oscillator using a high order space harmonic operation of a folded waveguide and a low-voltage linear electron beam is disclosed. The oscillator has an electron beam generator generating a linear electron beam, a beam collector, and a folded waveguide. The waveguide is bent to an electric field plane and has a rectangular section, and a beam tunnel hole for the electron beam passes therethrough. An electromagnetic wave of millimeter-wave is generated in an opposite direction to the electron beam direction by a high order space harmonic operation of the waveguide, in response to the linear electron beam.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic wave generating apparatus employs a plurality of oscillators, each of which is arranged such that an electron beam travels in a direction opposite to that of an adjacent one. Each oscillator is connected to at least one output terminal of an adjacent oscillator and at least one input terminal is connected to each output terminal of an adjacent oscillator to feed back a part of the generated electromagnetic wave output from each of the output terminals.
