An equivalent circuit is given which quantitatively predicts the performance of magnetron oscillators when they are frequency locked by an injected RF signal. A method is presented for the reciprocal coupling of magnetrons to a traveling wave without reflection. The theory is supported by experimental results which include: 1) a single-tube locked oscillator with nonreciprocal (circulator) coupling, 2) a three-tube locked oscillator array with reciprocal coupling, 3) a two-tube oscillator with reciprocal coupling. The feasibility of various locked oscillator and self-oscillating arrays, including the effect of mismatched loads, is discussed.
