A new configuration of an axially-extracted vircator with three resonant cavities is put forward and optimized by simulation with the PIC code. The output power of over 1 GW is obtained at around 4.1 GHz in the experi...
We present the investigation on the reflex triode virtual cathode oscillator in which performances of carbonfibre and stainless-steel cathodes are compared with each other. The experimental results and analyses show t...

An axially extracted virtual cathode oscillator (vircator) with a feedback annulus is proposed and configured through particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation in Ref. [1]. In this paper, the effects of the feedback mechanism...
The measurements and calculations (coupled mode equations) on the conversion of the transverse magnetic TM_(01) vircator (virtual cathode oscillator) mode at 4 GHz to the linearly polarized TE11 mode are presented by ...
