Operability of the wide-band reflector based on the effect of microwave beams multiplication was tested in the hot experiment. A microwave system of the new type including such a reflector was used in a free electron maser (FEM)-oscillator with a guide magnetic field. The high-current accelerator Sinus-6 forming a 500 keV/120 A electron beam was used as the FEM driver. The double-resonance regime, when both the undulator and the cyclotron resonance conditions were fulfilled simultaneously, provided maximum output power 7 MW and electron efficiency 12% at the designed frequency 45 GHz.
