Abstract

The results are given of an experimental study of the microwave radiation from a powerful relativistic electron beam in a longitudinal magnetic field. The design and the characteristics of the bandpass microwave filters used in the analysis of the radiation spectra are described. Radiation spectra have been obtained for different values of magnetic field. It is shown that the observed radiation is in fact cyclotron radiation from the beam. The reasons for the high radiation intensity are discussed.
