Abstract

A momentum anisotropy, created by injecting an electrostatically unneutralized annular electron beam through various foils, is shown experimentally to lead to high-power microwave emission. The radiation occurs at a frequency such that the phase velocities of cyclotron waves on the beam and the TE01 mode in the guide are equal.
