“…[1,2], and citations therein), research on the phase-stable excitation of high-current electron generators is ongoing [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Along with the use of external radiation sources [12][13][14][15], this mode is possible when a seed electromagnetic (EM) signal appears at a stable front of the beam, and has the required power and spectral range [16,17]. The higher the generation frequency, the shorter the current front needed, and in millimeter wave range, this is at the sub-nanosecond scale.…”
