Abstract
Plasma microwave electronics has enjoyed renewed interest and considerable success in the last few years. This paper reviews new results, both in the US and abroad, demonstrating that the presence of a low density background plasma in microwave tubes actually lead to a) enhanced interaction efficiency, b) a great reduction or complete elimination of the guiding magnetic field amplitude, c) high gain, extremely wide band bandwidth amplification, d) CW operation, and e) a high degree of special purity. Some of these new devices are unique in the sense that their operation is based on hybrid plasma-resonator structures and have no analogue in the field of vacuum microwave devices.
