Abstract
We consider the effects of mutual electronic repulsion in the electron beam in the orontron, based on the general analysis of Gover and Strangle [IEEE J. Quantum Electron. QE-17, 1196 (1981)]. The theory of orotron operation is extended to include space charge effects, and calculations are in good agreement with available experimental results at low (∼6.7 A/cm2) beam current densities. The theory predicts than an output power of 264 W cw may be obtainable at 75 GHz with a beam current density of 50 A/cm2.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
