Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9009674A1] The invention relates to a hyperfrequency wave generator which uses an electron beam and the phenomenon of oscillating virtual cathode, but which allows to obtain a spectral quality energy and a conversion yield which are improved with respect to conventional vircator generators. This is achieved by using separately the electrons issued from the virtual cathode (80), that is to say transmitted (82) or reflected (81), in order to transform their kinetic energy into hyperfrequency energy (4).
