A brief discussion is given of the state of the art, challenges, and prospects in the application of transverse (cyclotron and synchronous) electron-beam waves in microwave electronic devices, including protectors, parametric and electrostatic amplifiers, tunable filters, circularly polarized traveling wave tubes, microwave/DC converters, and combined interaction klystrons.
