Abstract :
Coherent CW microwave oscillations in smooth-bore magnetrons are reported, continuously tunable over a 5:1 bandwidth. The dc characteristics of the device are found to be explained in terms of mobility-dominated electron transport. The instability reported by Buneman accounts for the scattering mechanism required for such transport.
