  • Abstract
    An excitation model for TM-mode cylindrical cavities driven by a modulated electron beam with application in transit-time microwave tubes is developed. It is shown that the slowly time varying amplitude of the self-sustained oscillations is described by a reduced form of the classical van der Pol equation, from which expressions for the starting current and saturation amplitude are readily derived.
