摘要

11A B S T R A C TA BACKWARD WAVE OSCILLATOR TUBE FOR THE PRODUCTION OFMICROWAVESThe present invention relates to a backward wavemode oscillator tube, the delay line of which is in twosections of dissimilar length both operating in the back-ward wave mode, aligned in the direction of propagation ofthe electrons of the beam, the second being substantiallyshorter than the first and exhibiting a structure homothe-tic with the first in the ratio ? n being an integer,with a load arranged at the end of this second sectionwhich is adjacent the electron-gun, in which load is picked-thup electromagnetic energy on the n harmonic of the predo-minant component of the wave in the first section.
