Abstract
Abstract A microwave electron discharge device comprising a means for forming a charged particle beam and having an accelerating tube for imparting relativistic energies to the charged particle beam. Besides, the device contains a deflection system for circular sweep of the beam disposed subsequent to the beam-producing means along the same axis, and a travelling-wave annular resonator positioned subsequent to the deflection system and also coaxial with this system and having circular slots at its and surfaces to permit the ingress of the scanned beam and its egress into the collector. The annular resonator is provided with a means for extracting electromagnetic microwave power which takes the form of two or more identical nondirectional power terminals distributed over the circumference of the resonator.
