The paper discusses applications of the wave analog of the Smith-Purcell effect in microwave energy compressors. It is demonstrated that both energy accumulation stage, and switching and release of accumulated energy could benefit from the realization of this effect. A whole new family of compressors featuring the wave analog of the Smith-Purcell effect is establishing, and a couple of novel compressors' designs are presented as examples in this paper.
