The temporal evolution of the current, voltage, and rf fields in magnetron‐type devices has been simulated numerically by a two‐dimensional, electromagnetic, fully relativistic particle‐in‐cell code. The simulation allows for the complete geometry of the anode vane structure, space‐charge‐limited cathode emission, and the external power source. The code has been applied to magnetrons operating in the relativistic energy regime.
