MEGAVOLT ELECTRONICS, SUB-MILLIMETER WAVE RESEARCH.

Abstract

Generation of millimeter wavelength radiation by means of the Doppler effect is discussed. In contrast to other rebatron experiments, the output frequency need not be a harmonic of the rebatron frequency and is therefore potentially tunable. Power has been generated at 39.7 Gc at the milliwatt level in substantial agreement with theory. An approxiamte method for calculating parameters appearing in the study of the propagation of Cerenkov radiation in anisotropic ferrites is presented. Theoretical studies of transition radiation in both stratified media and in waveguides are described. Numerical evaluation for the waveguide problem leads to interaction resistances of the order of 10 to 100 ohms. Information concerning the construction of the 35 Gc rebatron which is now ready for initial is presented. (Author)
