Description

The authors have discovered in our two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations that the oscillation of virtual cathodes in reditrons can produce a highly modulated electron beam. Full (100%) current modulation of the leakage electron beam was observed in our simulations. The modulation is at the frequency of the oscillating virtual cathode and the transverse magnetic mode generated by the reditron. The authors have further incorporated an inverse diode with a line impedance of 50 ohms in the reditron and showed that 28% of the kinetic energy of the modulated electron beam was converted into transverse electromagnetic waves with peak power of 1 GW
