Generation of millimetre waves from a pseudospark discharge electron beam

A backward wave oscillator (BWO) powered by a 4-gap pseudospark (PS) discharge-generated electron beam has been designed, modelled and constructed, and has been found to generate 2.7 W of RF power at a frequency of 199 GHz. This work presents numerical simulations and experimental results of this wo...
