Abstract :
The transparent cathode is a novel cathode design intended to provide rapid startup in pulsed, relativistic magnetrons (Fuks and Schamiloglu, 2005). The transparent cathode consists of separate longitudinal metal strips arranged on a cylindrical surface that act as electron emitters. The cathode may also contain a center conductor to provide mechanical support for the cathode strips
