Generation of Microwave Pulses with a Carrier Frequency of 3.8 GHz and a Length of 75 ns by a Relativistic Cherenkov Microwave Oscillator without a Guiding Magnetic Field
Abstract
In the experiment with an electron energy of ≈500 keV, the long-pulse ( 300T, where T is the oscillation period) the generation regime of a relativistic Cherenkov microwave oscillator without a guiding magnetic field at a carrier frequency of 3.8 GHz has been obtained. A high-power microwave radiation pulse length of 75 ns, a peak generation power of 210 ± 30 MW, and a power conversion efficiency of 9 ± 2% were attained.
