Kinetic theory of electron-cyclotron resonance masers with asymmetry of the electron beam in a cavity

Abstract

On the basis of kinetic theory, general relations for the starting current and frequency shift in electron-cyclotron resonance masers are derived in the case of eccentricity of the electron beam in a cavity. The influence of a misalignment of the beam and cavity on the gyrotron operation is discussed as an example.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
