Abstract :
A great interest has been shown in using terahertz range. Considered in this paper are the possibilities of using frequency multiplication principles in designing vacuum electromagnetic radiation sources featured by inclined electron flow in the short-wave bands including terahertz band. Presented here are the results of simulation and experimental studies of millimeter-wave frequency multipliers, particularly, multiplier klynotrons, multiplier orotrons and multiplier orbotrons with increased frequency multiplier factors kf =15. Electro-dynamic system of these devices is a power take-off cascade. It is shown that power take-off cascade can operate within the frequency band which exceeds an octave with frequency conversion factor over 10. Energy and frequency characteristics of the frequency multiplier are given.
