The effect of shot noise on the frequency stability of an orotron
Abstract
A theoretical analysis of the influence of electron-beam shot noise on the frequency stability of an orotron is presented. A formula is obtained for the spectral line width due to the short noise, and a comparison is made with other resonant oscillators. It is shown that the line width due to shot noise for an orotron is three orders of magnitude less than that for klystrons and magnetrons of the same frequency range.
