Simplified theory of backward-wave oscillator
The presently constructed theory of the inverse wave generator (carcinotron) is a development of the well-known theory of TWT amplifiers. It is based on the so-called normal mode method, consisting in the joint solution of the equations of the long line and electron beam. This theory is rather complicated and its results are not well suited to physical review. In the light of this, it is of interest to use the kinematic method for analysing the operation of a back wave generator, which is based on the consideration of the energy exchange between the electron flux and the electric field of the wave and is characterised by relative simplicity and clarity. In the present communication, an attempt is made to construct a simplified theory of the inverse wave lamp (BWO) within the framework of the kinematic method in the approximation of a given field.
