摘要
Experiments with a Cherenkov plasma maser (CPM) driven by a high-current relativistic electron beam of microsecond pulse duration are described, The results obtained show that the principle of operation of the CPM makes it possible to avoid the problem of microwave pulse shortening, which is inherent to vacuum devices of relativistic high-current microwave electronics. A 800-ns microwave pulse with an energy of 21 J was obtained at a peak power level of 40 MW (the efficiency being 4%) in a broad (similar to 100%) frequency band.
