Study of a THz spatial harmonic magnetron

Abstract

This paper presents our study on a 0.2-THz spatial harmonic magnetron with 3D particle simulation model and cold cavity testing. The magnetron is operated on first order backward spatial harmonic of a π/2-1 mode. The saturated output power is predicted at 2.8 kW with 13.6 kV anode voltage and 0.944 T magnetic field.
