High-current, long-pulse gyrotron-backward-wave oscillator experiments

Experiments have been conducted on cyclotron resonance maser interactions to generate high power microwaves employing a long-pulse electron beam accelerator, MELBA (Michigan Electron Long Beam Accelerator), with electron beam parameters of: V = 0.6-0.9 MV; Current = 1-50 kA; and pulselength = 0.5-1.5...
