Abstract

The experiment on a Ku-band gyrotron backward- wave oscillator (gyro-BWO) with a single depressed collector and linear polarization mode output has been performed successfully. Stable magnetic tuning bandwidth of 5% and maximum power of 48 kW under a 40-kV 11.5-A electron beam were achieved. The overall efficiency of the gyro-BWO with a single stage depressed collector has been enhanced from 10.5% to 21%. The measured performance has demonstrated a strong potential of the gyro-BWO for new application requiring high-power tunable wave source.
