dc.description.abstract | Microwave sources based on backward-wave oscillators driven by relativistic electron beams are capable
of producing high power coherent radiation in the cm and mm wavelength regime. Although there have
been a number of experiments reported over the last decade on this topic, there are only a few publications
providing a theoretical description of these devices. Thus, there is a need for theoretical models which can be
compared in detail with the experimental data. This work is devoted to filling this need and applied to the
University of Maryland backward wave oscillator experiment. It is shown that the theoretical predictions
for the threshold current to start the oscillations, the frequency characteristics, and the efficiency of the
device compared favorably with the experimental data. | en_US |
