Abstract
A microminiature microwave electron source excited by a pulsed microwave power through a coaxial to emit electrons includes an electrically conductive chamber that is connected to an external conductor of the coaxial cable at an openings end thereof and has an opening anode in a bottom portion thereof, a central conductor adjacent to the electron source, the central conductor having one end thereof connected to a central conductor of the coaxial cable, a carbon nanotube cold cathode formed on the other end thereof being supported by the chamber such that the cold cathode opposes the anode, a coupling iris that airtightly and fixedly supports the central conductor at an opening end of the chamber, and a connecting device for electrically and mechanically connecting the opening end of the chamber to the central conductor of the coaxial cable so as to connect the central of the electron source to the central conductor of the coaxial cable.
