Abstract

Summary form only given. A study of the negative resistance regime independent of relativistic effects has been carried out on the split-anode magnetron using a crossed-field simulation code. Pi mode synchronous interaction at anode voltages well below the experimental value is found. Computed anode current and efficiency are in good agreement with experiment with operation ensuing in the higher-voltage negative resistance regime. The efficiency is maximum when the RF voltage on applied DC voltage. Electron-RF interaction in the gap between anode electrodes is the dominant energy conversion mechanism.
