Abstract

A model and a system of equations for investigation of the nonlinear regime of a clinotron are presented. Calculations are performed and physical interpretation of obtained results and specific features of manifestation of the clinotron effect for different sheet beam thicknesses and inclination angles to the surface of the slow-wave system is given. The universal dependence of the maximum efficiency and optimal inclination angle in the clinotron on the beam thickness is found. It is demonstrated that, for the optimal beam thickness and inclination angle, the clinotron efficiency considerably exceeds the efficiency of a standard backward wave tube (BWT) for the same electron beam parameters.
