Abstract
The effect of vacuum conditions on the characteristics of microwave generation in a nonrelativistic electron beam with a virtual cathode (VC) formed in a retarding field (low-voltage vircator) has been experimentally studied. The ionization of residual gases in the working chamber of a low-voltage vircator leads to displacement of the VC out of the interaction space, which results in breakdown of the microwave generation. The experimental data agree with the results of numerical simulations.
