Abstract
A Smith–Purcell oscillator with a thick electron beam is analyzed in its exponential gain regime. A general expression is obtained for the dispersion relation of the oscillator, and the threshold current for self-sustained oscillations is found to be less than 1 A for radiation of 1-mm wavelength.
