Abstract

General features of the operation of microwave oscillators based on the Cherenkov resonance interaction of a high-current relativistic electron beam with a preformed plasma are considered. Emphasis is placed on the presence of longitudinal modes of the plasma-beam resonator that make it possible to tune the radiation frequency. Methods by which the radiation frequency can be varied severalfold continuously or in discrete controlled steps and the width of the spectrum of simultaneously generated frequencies can be changed substantially are described. The results of numerical simulations are compared with available experimental data.
