Abstract :
The electronic devices used most extensively, recently, for the generation of centimeter waves are discussed. The physical form, operating capabilities, and the basic physical principles of operation of the triode, velocity-variation, and magnetron oscillators are presented. An attempt is made to show how these oscillators are related to one another. For a variety of reasons, particular emphasis is placed on the magnetron oscillator.
