Abstract
We experimentally studied an intense Smith-Purcell (SP) radiation based on a cylindrical corrugated waveguide driven by a weakly relativistic electron beam. The corrugated waveguide has a rectangular periodic structure, and an annular electron beam with energy less than 100 keV and current of the order of 100 A is injected. We observe both intense surface-wave radiation at 25 GHz and intense SP radiations up to 150 GHz. The observed SP radiations are enhanced by the sixth and fourth temporal harmonics of the surface wave. The characteristics of the enhanced SP radiation depend on the periodic number of the structure. In the experiment with the use of the 60-period structure, the observed power of the SP radiation at the fourth harmonic is higher than that of the radiation at the sixth harmonic. In the case of the 30 period-structure, the power level of the radiation at the sixth harmonic is comparable to that at the fourth harmonic.
