Intense Microwave Pulses IV. SPIE'S 1996 Conference on Millimeter and Microwave Engineering.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this conference was to present and critically assess current research on the generation and transmission of intense microwave pulses. The phenomenon of pulse shortening in high-power microwave sources received special attention. Effects were calculated for asymmetric loading of a magnetron cavity on the resonant frequency and quality factor of various cavity modes. Numerical simulations of magnetron phase locking were also presented. In gyrotron research, experiments on long-pulse microwave production by a high-power gyrotron with rectangular cross section were reported. Also presented was work on harmonic multiplication as a possible way to produce high frequency, large bandwidth, and high power in gyrotron oscillators and amplifiers. Also presented were experimental results on a novel design for a cyclotron maser having a periodic waveguide consisting of a two dimensional linear array of metal posts. In addition, research on unwanted-mode suppression in a gyrotron-backward wave oscillator was presented.
