Three-cavity circuit studies of the Maryland gyroklystron

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10146685
At the University of Maryland we have examined an X-Band TE{sub 01} mode three-cavity gyroklystron circuit that includes a tunable buncher cavity. The system parameters are: 425 kV, 100--200 A, pulse length {approximately} 1 {mu}s, operating frequency 9.85 GHz, and a beam alpha, {upsilon}{perpendicular}/{upsilon}{sub z}, in the range 0.7--1.0. This circuit produced a maximum power of 27 MW at 32% efficiency and a gain of 36 dB. We will summarize the major results of the three-cavity systems, including recent output cavity configurations that were to affect the post-cavity interaction.
