Crossed-field devices generate microwave energy by tapping the kinetic energy of electrons drifting perpendicularly to electric and magnetic fields that are oriented at right angles to one another (hence the term crossed-field). This arrangement prevents breakdown of the anode–cathode (A–K) gap, confines the electrons within an interaction region, and aligns the electron velocities with the electromagnetic waves. These devices include the relativistic ...
