Abstract
A relativistic magnetron device comprising an elongate cathode shank extending along the axis of the device and a cylindrical anode surrounding the cathode shank along at least part of its length to define an annular interaction area. The anode has an even number of resonator cavities facing the cathode, and microwave extraction devices are connected to alternate resonator cavities to extract power from the device. The cathode has a central, emission band extending from the center of the interaction area in opposite directions and terminating short of the ends of the anode, while the remainder of the cathode is non-emitting.
