Design of an Inverted TM011 Cavity Locked HPM Magnetron

This paper describes a new magnetron circuit for high peak and average power microwave generation. A strapped bar/vane structure is proposed (similar to an Amplitron circuit.) The circuit bars are locked to a TM011 cavity using strapping plates. Power is coupled out through a cylindrical TM01 waveguide mode. The circuit is most conveniently realized in an inverted geometry.
