Annotation
Effect of the focusing magnetostatic field (FMF) profile on the output characteristics of diffraction radiation oscillator (DRO) is studied experimentally. The laboratory prototype of the mm range DRO produced in IRE NAS of Ukraine was used in the research. Peculiarities of the output power, oscillation frequency, starting current and other DRO characteristics for the cases of the decreasing, sagging and increasing magnetostatic field along the direction of the electron flow motion were determined. Prospects for the use of the increasing FMF in DRO are shown.
