Amplitude-frequency characteristics of millimeter-wavelength traveling-wave masers
Abstract
It is shown that the amplitude-frequency curve is flatter for millimeter-wavelength traveling-wave masers with a periodic slow-wave structure than for centimeter-wavelength devices with an extended amplification band. The broadening of the amplification band and the flatter amplitude-frequency curve are explained by the substantial nonuniformity of the magnetostatic field in the active crystal due to the relative increase in the size of the ferrite element in the slow-wave structure.
