Abstract: A new scheme of an effective ultralow-voltage generator of broadband chaotic microwave oscillations is considered. The device operates on counterpropagating turbulent electron beams, one of which is created by a secondary-emission cathode. 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 (below 500 V), increased efficiency (up to 14–15%) compared to analogs, broad band of generated oscillation frequencies, high level of integral output power (up to 35 W), the possibility of fast and easy control over the generation regimes (from almost monochromatic to broadband), and small dimensions of the device.
