Abstract: The new scheme of an ultralow-voltage generator of broadband chaotic microwave oscillations is considered, which operates on counterpropagating turbulent electron beams. Results of an experimental investigation of the device prototype operating in various regimes are summarized. Promising features of the proposed ultralow-voltage oscillator are the relatively low accelerating voltages (500–600 V), high efficiency (up to 8%), broad band of generated oscillation frequencies, high level of integral output power (up to 20 W), possibility of fast and easy control over the generation regimes (from almost monochromatic to broadband), and small dimensions of the device.
