RADIATION OF VIRTUAL CATHODE SEQUENCE IN MAGNETIZED RELATIVISTIC ELECTRON BEAM
Keyword(s):
The numerical simulation method has been applied to investigate the characteristics of radiation from the sequence of two or three virtual cathodes (VC) which are formed in the magnetized plane relativistic electron beam. Between such VC the electric field and beam current feedbacks occur. The spectral electromagnetic radiation characteristics of different vircator configurations and their dependences on the current density and beam energy spread are determined.
