Abstract :
Summary form only given. A particle simulation code has been developed to study the interaction between electrons of the e-layer and the mode fields of the inverted cusptron structure. It has been used to determine the optimum design parameters, such as the dimensions of the tube, electron beam energy, and magnetic field in order to obtain the maximum efficiency of the device for the TE/sub 02/-2/spl pi/ mode. Three harmonics (No = 6, 10, 16) have been considered. The results have been compared with the corresponding ones with the conventional cusptron geometry.
