Tóm tắt

A new method of insulator surface treatment, which allows the electric strength of the material to be increased, is proposed and verified. Using this method for treating the slow-wave structure of a relativistic backward wave tube (BWT), the microwave pulse duration was increased from ∼6 to ∼30 ns at an output BWT radiation power of 3 GW.
