Proposed Injection Locking Of A Long Pulse Relativistic Magnetron

We report results of the initial operation of a 1μs relativistic magnetron system to be used in the phase locking experiment. Full voltage pulse length with no evidence of diode shorting due to plasma closure is achieved in smooth bore geometry. The operating characteristics of the 700 kV, 700 A modulator together with the computerized control/acquisition system for the phase locking experiment is also described.
