In this paper, the final preparations for bringing the University of Maryland's 10 GHz, 30 MW gyroklystron experiment on-line are discussed. We describe the initial operation of the modulator and the acceptance tests performed on the electron gun. We explain the enhanced circuit modelling and present a two-cavity design which predicts an efficiency of 33% and a gain of 27 dB. The realization of the design is also discussed. In addition, we briefly discuss the output waveguide and the diagnostics for beam and rf characterization. Finally, a four-cavity circuit design is presented with its predicted operating parameters that can achieve the necessary gain and efficiency required for accelerator application. 14 refs., 11 figs., 5 tabs.
