Megavolt Electronics, Sub-Millimeter Wave Research.
Abstract
Research on the Cerenkov radiation approach to the millimeter and submillimeter generation problem is described. The method involves a combination of megavolt electronics and physical optics type techniques. A scalar dielectric Cerenkov coupler operating at 8.31 millimeters wavelength produced 58 milliwatts per centimeters using a drive current of 43 milliamperes. The analysis and preliminary design of Cerenkov experiments in tensor media (ferrites, plasmas) is presented which shows promise of producing upwards of 100 watts with a 10 milliampere beam. Initial numerical analysis for a relativistic electron bunching accelerator (Rebatron) operating above 3 kmc is presented. (Author)
