The RF envelope shoulder occurs mainly at low part of the operating frequency band, and is caused by the gassing of microwave attenuation material FeSiAl covering on the wall of the cavity. The RF envelope tilt is caused by the drop of the pulse voltage and the dependence of efficiency on the beam voltage. These physical phenomena are explained and analyzed in the paper. The methods for overcoming the RF envelope shoulder and reduce the RF envelope tilt are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":88890,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference.

To exploit the frequency above 100GHz, a SWS band-edge oscillator (SWSBO) is proposed for a compact source of high-power radiation based on interaction in the region near band-edge of SWS. Because the impedance near band-edge becomes so great that strong interaction can occur. The concept of SWSBO has been successfully demonstrated experimentally using folded waveguide SWS. The experimental F-band prototype reaches maximum pulsed output power of 32W and the oscillator frequency of 124.44GHz with the voltage of 23.1kV and the current of 150mA, respectively.","PeriodicalId":88890,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference.
