Relativistic microwave amplifier
Abstract
A relativistic vacuum X-band amplifier has been developed which makes use of the instability of a relativistic electron beam which is interacting with a rippled magnetic field. A gain of 1.35 dB/cm has been achieved at 9450 MHz at an output signal power of about 100,000 W. The output power is 3 MW in a pulse width of 1 x 10 to the -6th s. The width of the output line is no greater than 100 MHz. The working mode is the TE(01) mode.
