Oscillation in a two coupling virtod-type virtual cathode oscillators with controllable connector: numerical simulation

Autors: 
Hramov Aleksandr Evgenevich, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University
Abstract: 

Nonlinear dynamics of two virtual cathode oscillators assembly with controllable connecting line is studied numerically. The existence of different regimes, including synchronisation and deterministic chaos, is shown. The effect of electron beams parameters, delay time and coupling coefficient of the connecting line on the generating frequency and phase difference between signals from the each oscillator is investigated. Physical processes are considered and it is shown that chaotic oscillations are connecting with formation and interaction between several electron structures in the stream of the each generator, and regular regimes appear as а result of suppressing of structure growth.
