Development program for a 200 kW, cw gyrotron. Quarterly report No. 11, January-March 1982
The objective of this program is the design and development of a millimeter wave device to produce 200 kW of continuous-wave power at 60 GHz. The device, a gyrotron oscillator, will be compatible with power delivery to an electron-cyclotron plasma. Smooth control of RF power output over a 17 dB range is required, and the device should be capable of operation into a severe time-varying load mismatch. During this report period, the beam instability problem which plagued S/N 1 testing was evaluated in more detail. Separate tests were conducted on the gun tester and the lossy drift section, as well as both of these combined, and the results were compared to gyrotron tests on S/N 1. The instability problem now appears to be associated with RF leakage from the cavity.
