A new configuration of a virtual cathode oscillator is proposed for high-power microwave generation. Analysis and simulation are carried out to investigate the characteristics of this configuration. In the numerical simulation, the microwave output power of ∼564 MW is obtained with an electron beam of 300 keV in electron energy and 15 kA in beam current, giving a beam-to-microwave efficiency of ∼12.5%. The significant features of the new configuration are (1) the microwave output power is not affected by an electron energy spread up to 6%; and (2) no significant change of the oscillation frequency is observed when the beam current changes from 10 to 20 kA.
