  • Abstract
    Interaction of cyclotron beam modes with circuit modes is studied using a coupled-mode approach. It is found that the interaction of the slow cyclotron beam mode with the fast forward circuit mode can lead to growth. The instability experimentally observed also supports this hypothesis. Means are discussed for reducing the growth rate in order to improve the stability of a crossed-field amplifier.
