Theoretical Study of a 0.22 THz Backward Wave Oscillator Based on a Dual-Gridded, Carbon-Nanotube Cold Cathode

The carbon nanotube (CNT) cold cathode is an attractive choice for millimeter and terahertz vacuum electronic devices owning to its unique instant switch-on and high emission current density. A novel, dual-gridded, field emission architecture based on a CNT cold cathode is proposed here. CNTs are sy...
