Experimental Study of Oversized Backward Wave Oscillator with Coaxial Slow-Wave Structure

Abstract: Studies of coaxial oversized backward wave oscillators (BWOs) are reported. The beam voltage is weakly relativistic (less than 100 kV). The slow-wave structure consists of a periodically corrugated oversized waveguide and periodically corrugated inner conductor, whose target operating frequency due to Cherenkov interaction is in the K-band. A starting energy exists for the coaxial oversized BWO as it does for a hollow oversized BWO. The coaxial slow-wave structure has two surface wave modes caused by the inner… Show more

“…Recently, high-power microwave sources with small sizes and variable frequencies are desired for plasma heating in nuclear fusion processes, radars, communication systems, measuring systems, and medical equipment. One such microwave source is the backward wave oscillator (BWO) [1][2][3][4][5]. A cold cathode, used inside the BWO, does not need to be heated by a power supply, thereby enabling miniaturization.…”
