The present invention relates to M-type microwave devices and is aimed to improve effectiveness of using a working surface of field-electron emitters, to improve their reliability while increasing stability of field emission and service life of the device. These objects are solved in the design of a M-type microwave device, comprising an anode encircling a cylindrical evacuated cavity and a cathode assembly disposed co-axially inside the anode, said cathode assembly comprising a cylindrical rod with its surfaces having elements in the form of planar (film) field-electron emitters and secondary-electron emitters that provide a primary and a secondary electron emission, respectively. In doing so, the normal to planar field-electron emitters is not parallel and makes therewith an angle of more than 0 degrees. An end-face of the field-electron emitter is protected by a tunnel-thin dielectric layer containing impurities of various materials and materials having a low work function.
