Abstract

An efficient microwave oscillator (320 MW and 7.9 GHz) that generates microwave pulses with a duration of 90 ns is developed using optimization of an electron-wave system and decompression of the longitudinal magnetic field with a maximum induction of 0.62 T in the region of an explosive-emission cathode and a lower field (0.36 T) with respect to cyclotron resonance in the slow-wave structure. In a packet (up to 10 ns) repetitively-pulsed (100 Hz) regime, the maximum conversion efficiency of the electron-beam power to microwave radiation is 27%. The mean energy of the radiation pulse (23 J) is about 18% of the pulse energy of high-voltage oscillator.
