Abstract :
A metamaterial-like rodded cathode in a relativistic A6 magnetron was simulated using ICEPIC [1] to study the effect that a grid of fine rods have on increasing space-charge-limited current emission from the cathode, on affecting the microwave power, and on encouraging a beneficial interaction with the RF mode.
