Abstract

The phase stability of the output power from high-power microwave tubes is a critical issue in applications such as electron acceleration and radar. The radio frequency (rf) phase stability of cyclotron autoresonance maser (CARM) amplifiers is investigated, and the phase stability of a CARM amplifier with a suitable correlation between perpendicular momentum and beam energy is shown to result in an order-of-magnitude improvement in phase stability over other rf sources. A technique for producing such a correlation, termed autophasing, is identified.
