Abstract

A Cherenkov oscillator operating simultaneously at two different wave bands (3cm and 8mm) is described in this paper. Experimental results from the oscillator are reported. The measured output power is 10 MW at 3cm wave band, and 1MW at 8mm wave band. The operating modes for BWO and R-orotion are E 01 and E 13, respectively.
