Observation of Microwave Cerenkov Radiation as Diffraction Pattern.

Active / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA159337 |

Abstract:

Measurement of microwave Cerenkov radiation in air exhibits the diffraction pattern predicted in earlier work. The radiation appears only at harmonics of the frequency of periodic electron bunches, angular distribution power measurements are presented for frequencies of 2.86, 5.71, 8.57 and 11 12 GHz corresponding to the fundamental and the first three harmonics of an S band RF linac.
