ABSTRACT
The performance of gyrotrons has developed rapidly during recent years and they now form very powerful sources of microwave energy at millimetric wavelengths. Much development, both of the detailed theory including multi-mode interaction and of practical devices, has taken place in the major European laboratories. This book is a collection of surve
Evolution of gyrotron devices; principles of interaction; computations of RF behaviour; review of the theory of mode competition in gyrotrons developed in the USSR; electron guns for gyrotron applications; components - beams tunnel, resonator, collector and RF window; gyrotron output launches and output tapers; experimental performance of 140 GHz gyrotrons; development of gyrotrons for 35-100-110-140 GHz; high-power gyrotrons at 8 GHz; quasi-optical gyrotron development at the CRPP; diagnostics and instrumentation for millimetre-wave gyrotrons.
