  • Question
  • In a backward wave oscillator the wave


  • Options
  • A. travelling along the line winds itself back and forth
  • B. progresses only in forward direction
  • C. progresses only in backward direction
  • D. either (a) or (c)

  • Correct Answer
  • travelling along the line winds itself back and forth 

    Explanation
    It is somewhat similar to TWT and can deliver microwave power over a wide frequency band.

    It has an electron gun and a helix structure. However the interaction between electron beam and RF wave is different than in TWT.

    The growing RF wave travels in opposite direction to the electron beam.

    The frequency of wave can be changed by changing the voltage which controls the beam velocity.

    Moreover the amplitude of oscillations can be decreased continuously to zero by changing the beam current.

    It features are:

    1. Frequency range - 1 GHz to 1000 GHz.

    2. Power output - 10 mV to 150 mW (continuous wave) 250kW (pulsed).

    It is used as signal source in transmitters and instruments.
