A novel approach to form second virtual cathode by installing a floating zone plate inside the drift tube

In this study, a new mechanism is proposed to develop a second virtual cathode (VC2). An axial vircator was simulated by adding a floating zone plate (ZP) inside the drift tube, which is designed at the dominant frequency of 3.42 GHz. The obtained results indicated that the floating ZP contributes t...
