Abstract:
The phenomenon of coherent resonance in a nonlinear dynamical system based on a delayed-feedback klystron (DFK) oscillator has been experimentally studied. The application of an external white noise signal to the DFK oscillator at the self-excitation threshold leads to the appearance of a resonant response in the system, the maximum of which is attained at a definite power of the external noise. It is demonstrated for the first time that the coherent resonance in response to an external harmonic signal in the microwave range allows the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of a regenerative ring amplifier to be significantly increased.
