ABSTRACT
This work develops the theory of a backward-wave electron oscillator, which operates in the regime of the socalled super-radiation of short powerful rf pulses. According to simulations, the sectioning of the electron-wave interaction region can provide a significant enhancement of the power of the output rf pulse in relatively short systems.
