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.
