The suppression of generation on the backward wave in microwave devices having an inhomogeneous slow-wave system
Abstract
A simple criterion is obtained for ascertaining the absence of generation on the backward wave in microwave in microwave devices in which the slow-wave structure has a random continuous inhomogeneity. The analytical method employed makes it possible to allow for losses in the slow-wave structure and the field of high-frequency space charge. It is shown that the starting conditions do not change under 'specular reflection' of the slow-wave structure parameters relative to the middle of the interaction space.
