In industial applications such as linear accelerators, pulsed lasers, nuclear fusion, radar systems, medical applications and etc. that need great ratio of instantanuse to the average power, pulsed power supplies are used. These power supplies store energy in an energy storage element and discharge this energy to load in a short period of time. The most important characterisitics of them are output pulse quality, reliability and longevity of the resource, efficiency and cost. One of the devices that produce high instantaneous RF power is magnetron tube. In some applications such as radar systems, quality of the output RF is very important and the most important factor that affect the quality... 

Magnetron is one of the microwave-generating devices that operates based on the microwave-electron flow interaction in the active region of the tube, which is affected by the resonant cavities and It is used in a wide range of power (from kW range at home microwave ovens to several GW in relativistic high power magnetrons and the frequencies from the order of few too MHz to tens of GHz). Although nowday's low-power generators based on transistors have replaced microwave generating tubes and even MW radio transmitters are made based on the combination of semiconductor microwave generators, but in the production of RF pulses at higher frequencies and powers, the electron tubes are the main...
