Abstract

The characteristic frequency and energy conversion efficiency of the coaxial vircator are studied by numerical simulation method. Comparing with planar vircator, the coaxial vircator generates much narrow bandwidth and higher center frequency. The simulation results also evince that by adjusting d can tune the output microwave frequency in about two octave range under certain conditions. The negative pulsed coaxial vircator can significantly improved efficiency from about 4% of positive pulsed coaxial vircator to about 10%. The experimental apparatus are setting up, the experimental results will be given in future
