Abstract :
The Phase-locking approach of injecting the small external signal into relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO) only during oscillation buildup to fix the initial phase of free running is put forward and validated by experiment.[1-2] To enhance the priming effect, multicavity RBWO is applied and a plasma microwave switch is developed.
