Abstract

Using the "MAGIC" code, computer simulation is performed to design a cathode structure which provides a radial distribution of electron beam density matching the field distribution of the TM₀₅ mode. Thus, very narrow band TM₀₅ mode microwave radiation can be generated in an open end waveguide. The simulation results show that the vircator can indeed be operated at the selected frequency 10.4 GHz with a very narrow bandwidth(∆ω/ω<1%).
