Distributed Generator with Extended Interaction on Field Emitter Arrays
A possibility for designing a distributed microwave generator on field emitter arrays has been studied which involves a waveguide interaction system as a circular distributed resonator. This generator was shown to be able of operating in the millimeter wavelength band with low voltages and beam current densities and to provide an efficiency to 20%. The electrical tuning of the generator in frequency can achieve 30% for one of its versions.
