摘要
Experimental details are discussed and millimeter wave measurements presented of a W-band gyrotron traveling-wave tube (gyro-TWT) that uses a helically corrugated interaction waveguide operating at the second electron cyclotron harmonic. A method for increasing the gain by using an interaction circuit with two sections separated by a long sub-cutoff drift section has been experimentally verified. A 10-mW driving source was sufficient to enable an amplified signal output power of 3 kWs. The continuous-wave (CW) operation with a single-stage depressed collector and deposited beam power of about 20 kW is believed to be the first demonstration of its kind for a W-band gyro-TWT.
