NONLINEAR EFFECTS AND PARAMETRIC REGENERATION DURING THE INTERACTION OF WAVES IN WAVEGUIDE SYSTEMS WITH LONG ELECTRON FLOWS

Abstract

This is a report on the results of an experimental study of the interaction of waves in waveguide systems with long electron flows. The experiments were carried out in the centimeter and decimeter wavelength ranges with a free-drift electron flow (nonlinear space charge wave interaction) and an electron beam associated with a retarding system (nonlinear interaction of space charge waves with retarding system field). Special attention was devoted to the study of factors determining the effectiveness of parametric regeneration running waves of a small signal by the energy of intensive injection running waves; the ratio of signal and injection frequencies varied over wide limits. It has been established that in systems of this type, as a rule one has to deal with a considerable number of combination frequencies which substantially affect the course of nonlinear and parametric processes.
