Abstract :
The possibility of using an external RF signal to rapidly switch the operating mode in relativistic magnetrons is studied using the PIC code MAGIC1 for the A6 magnetron2 operating at 360 kV with anode block radius Ra = 3D 2.11 cm. In the A6 magnetron with asymmetric extraction of radiation only nondegenerate modes (π-mode and the 2π-mode) can be used as the operating mode. Mode hopping to any neighboring mode leads to magnetron operation with an unloaded mode, resulting in overheating and erosion of its electrodes.
