Abstract
A new configuration of virtual cathode oscillator is proposed and tested experimentally. A resonant cavity is used to enhance the field feedback to the virtual cathode oscillation. The experiments were carried out on repetitive pulsed power generator "ETIGO-IV" (400 kV, 13 kA, 120 ns, 1 Hz). The diagnostic results have shown the peak microwave output power of /spl sim/ 450 MW, giving peak-to-peak microwave power efficiency of 9%.
