Analysis of Output Power Delay in Coaxial Vircator
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 4, 1-12, 2008
Abstract
In this paper, a virtual cathode oscillator (VCO) is simulated based on FDTD algorithm. The geometrical structure is coaxial. Electromagnetic fields and current graphs are calculated. For the first time it has been shown that the delay between input pulse and output microwave signal originate from the waveguide transition delay time and the virtual cathode generation loop delay time.
