Relativistic Electron Beam Interactions for Generation of High Power at Microwave Frequencies

Abstract

During the last few years, the application of intense, relativistic- electron beams to the generation of electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths ranging from 10 cm down to fraction of a millimeter has enabled significant advances to be made in peak power capabilities. The purpose of this review is to summarize the status of these advances and to describe briefly the nature of the several mechanisms involved.
