Abstract :
The paper presents the results of experiments on a 38-GHz relativistic BWT with an output of up to 40 MW. In the experiments, an electron beam injector based on a 5-ns repetitive high-current modulator with an inductive energy store and a semiconductor opening switch was used for the first time.
