Abstract
WE have recently made some measurements of the voltage distribution along the slow-wave circuit of our ‘travelling-wave-tube analogue’, operated as a backward-wave oscillator, which are of interest in helping to decide between the various theoretical models which have been proposed to describe backward-wave oscillator operation.
