Abstract :
A novel oscillator with multistage grating is proposed in this paper. The capability of efficient millimeter and submillimeter wavelength generation is discussed. The prototype of W-band oscillator with nonuniform grating has been developed. The operating frequency range of 100 GHz is chosen due to significant influence of ohmic losses on the BWO operating parameters and available equipment.
