SUBMILLIMETER RADIATION FROM RELATIVISTIC ELECTRON

Abstract

A method for utilization of a bunched relativistic electron beam for production of such radiation at submillimeter wavelengths is reported. In particular, the interaction of a bunched beam with the fields propagated by a corrugated cylindrical waveguide structure is being investigated. Design criteria for the waveguide structure have been devised. Cold radio-frequency tests have been made on structures scaled to C-band, and the results have been compared with theory. A structure scaled to 7.5 mm wavelength has been designed and is being electroformed.
