Abstract :
A numerical model is presented for analyzing backward-wave oscillator (BWO) operation in the presence of a constant finite axial magnetic field. The model is appropriate for devices that operate near the upper edge of the transmission band. An analytic calculation of starting currents is presented. The operating frequency and efficiency versus magnetic field predicted by the nonlinear numerical simulations are presented
