Abstract
A high power, highly efficient, phase-stable frequency-multiplying magnicon microwave amplifier is disclosed having efficiencies that exceed 60%. The magnicon amplifier has an output cavity that receives an electron beam that is deflection modulated by the drive, gain and penultimate cavities of the magnicon amplifier. The output cavity is dimensioned so as to operate in a TM.sub.m10 mode, where m is an even integer greater than two. The output cavity is selected to preferably have an operating frequency f.sub.o which is twice the cyclotron frequency f.sub.c of the output cavity.
