Abstract
We experimentally investigate the interaction between an electron beam with a periodically varying diameter and a large-amplitude electromagnetic wave. The effect of different factors on the pulsed beam formation and current density in bunches is established. Compared with the electron beam deceleration circuits (low-voltage vircator systems), the generators based on pulsed turbulent beams have a broader band due to the formation of a large number of space charge bunches and an integral power efficiency that is higher by a factor of 2–2.5.
