Abstract

The effect of axial energy spread on the linear gain in a Backward Wave Oscillator is considered. The electron beam is assumed to be monoenergetic with a momentum spread. The results obtained are used to discuss the effects of a finite spread in the beam axial momentum on the BWO instability and frequency of electromagnetic wave generation.
