Self-excitation and synchronization in a multibeam microwave generator with electron-oscillator flows

Self-excitation and radiation of a multibeam spatially distributed microwave generator with centrifugal electrostatic focusing are considered. The transition to equivalent self-oscillators with slowly varying amplitudes and phases is substantiated. Examples of the directivity patterns and level lines of the field radiated in the master-slave and mutual synchronization modes and observed in a given section are presented.
