Microwave Tubes: Literature Survey No. 8 Comprising Year 1986 (Litteraturoeversikt nr. 8 Omfattande ar 1986)

摘要

The literature on generation/amplification of microwaves (UHF to sub-mm waves) as referenced in databases or published by journals and at conferences during the year 1986 has been collected and commented by short notes. The present issue is the 8th in a series of yearly reports covering all conventional microwave tubes including gyrotrons as well as less conventional tubes like cusptrons, orotrons, vircators etc. References and comments on free electron masers and other new concepts of generating/amplifying microwave power indicate the state of the art and the trends of future development. Important technological issues like electron guns, cathodes and electron beams up to GW-level are also included in the text (639 ref).
