We consider the self-consistent system of equations describing the combined interaction of an eigenwave of the periodic structure with the space-charge waves and one of the cyclotron waves of a magnetized relativistic electron beam. A planar model of a relativistic backward-wave oscillator is studied. The main attention is paid to quenching of self-oscillations due to excitation of fast cyclotron waves. The appearance of hard oscillation modes and hysteresis phenomena in the backward-wave oscillator is observed when the value of the guiding magnetic field is close to the resonant one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
