Abstract

A generalized theory of the relativistic gyrotwistron, the device combining the elements of the gyroklystron and the gyro-traveling wave tube, is presented. A modulation of electrons in the input cavity is considered with the account of modulation in an electron axial momentum that is important for relativistic particles passing through a short cavity. A comprehensive study of large-signal operation of the output waveguide section in the cases of gyroresonance at the fundamental and second cyclotron harmonics has demonstrated a wide variety of electron bunching phenomena and the possibility of achieving high electron efficiency in a wide range of gyrotwistron parameters.
