Abstract :
A 0.1 THz 10 W clinotron is numerically and experimentally investigated for compact high-power terahertz radiation source. The output characteristics of the clinotron with the inclined sheet electron beam are examined by using the 3D particle-in-cell simulation code MAGIC and are compared with the measurements.
