Abstract :
We demonstrate the ability to form simple radiation patterns from a relativistic magnetron with axial extraction. This is achieved by tapering onto a conical antenna only those cavities of the anode block that correspond to the symmetry of the radiated modes. The efficiency of mode conversion of the operating pi-mode into a radiated mode using this method is demonstrated using computer simulations of a six-cavity magnetron
