PIC simulations and experimental design of a cherenkov mm-wave source

Numerical 3D PIC code simulations show that Slow-Wave-Structures SWSs demonstrate excellent potential as a virtual dielectric in a Cherenkov based Backward Wave Oscillator (BWO). CST Microwave Studio confirms internal mode coupling between a volume TM0,6 and surface HE20,1 modes resulting in the cre...
