ABSTRACT:
A simple method and apparatus are disclosed for producing high power gigat level millimeter radiation from an intensely oscillating relativistic turbulent electron plasma created in and beyond the gap of a high voltage diode configuration. The diode is comprised of an explosive cathode emitter and an extended anode structure connected to the inner and outer conductors, respectively, of a high voltage pulse line under conditions of space charge saturation. The gap spacing and voltage determine the dominate mode of the turbulent longitudinal waves which are directly converted into free transverse waves polarized parallel to the electron beam. A simple coaxial reflector-antenna system is also utilized to direct and focus the resultant radiation.
