Abstract :
Experimental data on spectrum deterioration in a pulsed magnetron oscillator exhibited a correlation with the theory of the striated space-charge distribution in a smooth-bore magnetron. This correlation led to a formula which defines a region on the performance chart where spectrum deterioration can be expected. The validity of the formula was confirmed for four different magnetrons.
