Abstract :
The Recirculating Planar Magnetron (RPM) [1] is a crossed field device that combines the advantages of high-efficiency recirculating devices with those of planar devices: both large area cathode (high current) and anode (improved thermal management). Two embodiments of the RPM are modeled a under design: 1) Axial magnetic field with radial electric field (experiments underway), and 2) Radial magnetic field and axial electric field.
