Numerical Analysis of High-Power X -Band Sources, at Low Magnetic Confinement, for Use in a Multisource Array

High-power microwave sources are typically relativistic in nature, employing multi-kilo-ampere electron beams that require significant magnetic confinement for efficient operation. As the desired output power increases, so does the complexity, and overall energy requirements, of the source. It can, therefore, be advantageous to consider the use of several, moderate-power, sources operating as a ph...
