Research into advanced concepts of microwave power amplification and generation utilizing linear beam devices

A theoretical study of some aspects of the interaction between a drifting stream of electrons with transverse cyclotron motions and an electromagnetic field is presented. Particular emphasis was given to the possible generation and amplification of millimeter waves. The major effort was devoted to a theoretical study of the cyclotron resonance oscillator. The appendices include published papers on the cyclotron resonance oscillator which resulted from this investigation
