Abstract :
Pendulum and velocity-variation types of oscillations in retarding-field oscillators are discussed. The processes of bunching, drifting, and working of the electrons are explained, and a comparison is made to a reflex klystron. Recent results obtained from retarding-field oscillators are given.
