  • Abstract
    A vacuum electronic device is under investigation as a compact, high-power terahertz source. Particle-in-cell simulations have been performed to predict general RF performance for a range of device parameters. Results to date indicate the potential for operation beyond 1 THz at power levels in excess of 50 W in a highly compact configuration.
