Since this is likely a variation on the TWT = traveling wave tube, it is l]]ikely capable of coherent output. The magnetron is an oscillator which is not capable of coherent output nor amplification, so the simularity is likely only in the multi megawatt pulse output. See also coupled cavity traveling wave tube, magnetron, maser, klystron and traveling wave tube. Ccpoodle 01:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
