Abstract
Magnetrons have been the most efficient high power microwave sources for decades. In the twenty-first century, many of the development works are headed towards the performance improvement of CW industrial magnetrons. In this review article, the development works and techniques, used on different types of magnetrons, for the performance enhancement in the past two decades have been discussed. The article focuses on the state of the art of CW magnetron and the direction it will take in foreseeable future. In addition it also glimpses some of the major variants of magnetron which have further opened up scope in mm-THz spectrum of electromagnetism.
