Abstract
In this article, design, simulation, and efficiency improvement of W-band gyrotron traveling wave tube (gyro-TWT) amplifier operating at fundamental TE01 mode have been presented. A triode-type magnetron injection gun (MIG) has been designed and optimized for the desired quality of electron beam with a minimum spread 2% with velocity ratio 1.12 to improve the electronic efficiency of gyro-TWT. Parasitic modes in gyro-TWT have been suppressed by employing a periodic dielectric loading in the RF interaction circuit. The simulated amplifier developed an output power of ~203 kW in fundamental TE01 mode with an electronic efficiency ~29% and power gain ~57 dB for a nonspread gyrating electron beam. To improve the overall efficiency of gyro-TWT, a single-stage depressed collector has been designed as a spent electron beam recovery system. The proposed collector has enhanced the overall efficiency of gyro-TWT to ~48%.
