Abstract :
There has been much research interest in improving magnetron performance by employing various priming techniques, such as shaped cathodes and nonuniform magnetic fields. These priming techniques have been successfully applied to reduce magnetron noise and also improve mode-locking and efficiency (Neculaes et al., 2005), (P. Fleming et al., 2007).
