Gyrocons and magnicons: microwave generators with circular deflection of the electron beam

A new class of microwave power amplifiers is presented in this paper. In these amplifiers, the beam is modulated by varying its spatial position by means of circular deflection. Today, this class consists of two devices: the gyrocon and its advanced version-the magnicon. This paper outlines the theo...

Zusammenfassung:A new class of microwave power amplifiers is presented in this paper. In these amplifiers, the beam is modulated by varying its spatial position by means of circular deflection. Today, this class consists of two devices: the gyrocon and its advanced version-the magnicon. This paper outlines the theory and the results of experimental research for both the gyrocon and the magnicon. The possibility of obtaining high power and high efficiency in both the decimeter and centimeter-wave ranges shows that these devices (the magnicon especially) may turn into one of the main microwave energy sources for future particle accelerators.< >
