A HIGH FREQUENCY RADIATION GENERATING APPARATUS COMPRISING: (A) A DIFFRACTION GRATING FORMED FROM PARALLEL SPACED LINES RULED UPON THE FACE OF A PIEZOELECTRIC PLATE, SAID FACE CARRYING A CONDUCTIVE COATING THEREON; (B) A CONDUCTIVE METALLIC PLATE POSITIONED TO REINFORCE STANDING ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES IN THE SPACE BETWEEN SAID REFLECTOR AND SAID DIFFRACTION GRATING; (C) MEANS TO DEVELOP A BEAM OF ELECTRONS AND TO DIRECT SAID BEAM THROUGH SAID SPACE; (D) MEANS TO APPLY AN ELECTRICAL STRESS TO SAID PIEZOELECTRIC PALTE SO THAT SAID PLATE WILL VARY DIMENSIONALLY IN A DIRECTION PERPENDICULAR TO SAID GRATING LINES, AND THEREBY CHANGE THE SPACING OF SAID GRATING.
