Abstract

A pulsed magnetron is caused to emit a series of RF energy pulses which are phase coherent with an injection signal by supplying the magnetron with a pedestal pulse during low-power signal injection. The pedestal being of a magnitude and duration such that the slow-rise-time pedestal portion holds the magnetron in the Hartree region during the signal injection.
