Abstract
The microwave field intensity around the virtual cathode oscillator was enhanced by using a microwave reflector in the output waveguide. The experimental results show that the microwave output power strongly depends on the position and geometry of the microwave reflector. The maximum microwave efficiency obtained was twice as large as that without field enhancement by the microwave reflector.
