High‐power microwave generation by double‐anode virtual cathode oscillator

Abstract

The virtual cathode oscillator (vircator) is one of the promising devices to oscillate high‐power microwaves. Simplicity and high‐power capability are advantages. However, the low efficiency and frequency stability are serious problems. In this article, we dealt double anode to strengthen the microwave interactions. The measurement result shows that the output of the virtual cathode oscillator can be progress by using the double‐anode.
