Minich, R W

A device, that operates in a vacuum of about 10/sup -5/Torr or less, for producing high-powered and coherent microwaves is described comprising: a cylindrical and hollow real cathode, of radius r/sub c/, for field emitting relativistic electrons in a generally inward radial direction; a cylindrical and substantially electron-transparent anode, of radius r/sub a/, internally and co-axially disposed within the cylindrical real cathode; a cylindrical electron collector electrode; means for rapidly driving the cylindrical anode to a positive potential.
