Abstract

In this paper, a high power millimeter wave gyrotron cavity was modelled and studied for its beam-wave interaction, beam-misalignment, and thermal issues. The sub-assemblies including the magnetron injection gun (MIG), RF output window, and electron beam collector were investigated. The MIG has produced an annular electron beam with transverse velocity spread less than ∼4%. The Particle–In–Cell simulation predicted an RF output of 470 kW in TE10,4 mode at ∼139.52 GHz for a DC drive of 80 kV, 20 A. The temperature on the inner, outer surfaces of the cavity and the corresponding average radial expansion of the cavity were calculated. Due to the radial expansion of the cavity, the resonant frequency and RF output power has changed to ∼0.514 GHz and ∼50 kW, respectively. Finally, the overall efficiency of the present gyrotron was improved from ∼29% to ∼47% by using a single–stage depressed collector.
