The principles governing gyroharmonic conversion for production of high-power cm-wavelength rf power to drive a future {ital e}{sup {minus}}-{ital e}{sup +} collider are reviewed. Results of projected performance of the Yale 14.28 GHz converter are presented, as predicted using a seamless slow-time-scale simulation code that follows the beam particles through a cyclotron autoresonance acceleration region, through an rf absorbing drift tube, and through a fifth-harmonic traveling-wave output section. Approximate scaling relations are developed to give converter parameters with power levels appropriate for collider applications. Possible means to control beam quality, and thus to retain good converter efficiency, are described. A single-beam, multiple-source converter concept is suggested that may make unnecessary more than one gun and gun modulator to supply a large number of accelerator rf feeds. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
