Development and Testing of a High-Average Power, 94-GHz Gyroklystron
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of a 10-kW average power, 94-GHz gyroklystron amplifier is described. This average power was obtained with 11% radio frequency (RF) duty factor and 92-kW peak power in the TE01 circular cavity mode. The instantaneous bandwidth was 420 MHz, and the efficiency was 33.5%. Low-duty-factor testing also yielded a peak power of as much as 115 kW with 600-MHz instantaneous bandwidth. This development effort was carried out over the past three years and represents record average power performance in an amplifier at this frequency.

Initial Operation of the Maryland Coaxial Gyroklystron Experiment
We describe results from the initial operation of our coaxial gyroklystron experiment, which is being evaluated as a potential driver for future linear colliders. The interaction is designed to occur between a 500 kV, 500 700 A beam and a series of coaxial TE0n1 microwave cavities. Output powers in excess of 100 MW at 8.568 GHz are expected with an efficiency of about 40% [1]. We detail perform...

In this paper we consider the design of a four-cavity microwave circuit for a high-gain K-band gyroklystron. The goal is to use this device to test a high gradient linear accelerator structure. The frequency doubling circular gyroklystron uses a beam voltage of 500 kV, beam current of 200 A in the circular TE011 mode and provides an output in the TE021 mode. We study the behavior of the four-ca...

Amplification studies of a two-cavity second-harmonic gyroklystron are reported. A magnetron injection gun produces a 440 kV, 200-24S A, 1 ps beam with an average perpendicular-to-parallel velocity ratio slightly less than 1. The TED» input cavity is driven near 9.88 6Hz and the TE02& output cavity resonates near 19.76 6Hz. Peak powers exceeding 21 MW are achieved with an e%ciency near 21% and ...

The self-consistent time-dependent code MAGY is presently being used for designing and modeling gyrodevices. In this paper, the code’s self-consistent capability is used to investigate three different issues relating to the operation of gyroklystron amplifiers. These are the effect of window reflection on the properties of the output waves, higher order mode excitation in nonlinear output taper...
