Abstract :
The automodulation processes in backward-wave oscillator with an inclined electron beam (the clinotron) operating at low-focusing magnetic fields have been studied. The automodulation behavior has been analyzed in the clinotron for different angles of the beam inclination. It has been shown that at low magnetic fields, the RF transverse electric field may cause significant changes in electron trajectories, and hence in the beam-wave interaction power that leads to the automodulation.
