Abstract
An original relativistic backward tube (BWT) for a 38 GHz range is developed and tested. The BWT is capable of generating stable pulses of ∼250 ps duration and a peak power of ∼250 MW in trains with a length of up to 1 s at a repetition rate of 1–3.5 kHz. The BWT design implements an inhomogeneous slow-wave structure of increased cross section with a band reflector. A pulsed electron beam (∼270 keV, ∼2 kA, 0.9 ns) was injected by a high-current accelerator based on a high-voltage generator with an inductive energy store, a semiconductor current interrupter, and a pulse-shaping hydrogen-filled discharge gap. A focusing magnetic field of 2 T was generated by a cooled pulsed solenoid power-supplied from a special stabilized current source.
