The effect of structure parameters on the group velocity and signal strength of a solid beam driven plasmaloaded backward wave oscillator is investigated analytically for a particular mode. The theory of approximate cubic dispersion equation as derived earlier for a solid beam driven plasmaloaded backward wave oscillator (BWO) is used for this investigation. The effect of variation of structure parameters on the temporal and spatial growth rates and group velocity result a change in the signal strength of BWO.
