Ekdahl, C A

A microwave generator is described which consists of: a relativistic electron beam; cylindrical grating means axially centered on the relativistic electron beam and closely coupled thereto, the cylindrical grating means for converting by the Smith-Purcell effect energy from the relativistic electron beam into microwave energy; and quasi-optical toroidal resonator means having the cylindrical grating means positioned on the axis thereof; the quasi-optical means for inducing beam bunching in the relativistic electron beam and for increasing energy conversion gain.
