Abstract :
Recently, considerable attention has been given to the development of relativistic high-power microwave sources with the capability of broad-band frequency tuning. We have demonstrated frequency tunability via computer simulations and experiments in an X-band backward wave oscillator (BWO) with a modified cavity reflector.
