Abstract

We present initial predictions for the performance of a novel High-Power Microwave (HPM), X-band, Cherenkov oscillator, termed the 'Self-Insulating Backward-Wave Oscillator (SIBWO)' due to its close resemblance, in appearance, to the conventional (magnetically insulated) BWO. Conversion efficiencies (i.e. energy extracted from the electron beam, to the electromagnetic wave) in excess of 30% have been predicted by simulations using CST Studio Suite. This corresponds to output powers in excess of 300MW, from a 500keV, 2kA beam, when operating in the TM01 mode at ~9.4GHz.
