Abstract

The operation of gyrotrons highly depends on the alignment between the magnet and the tube, which will cause instability problems or degrade the output efficiency, especially for high-frequency gyrotrons with a small cavity size. In this letter, the influence of misalignment, including parallel shift, arbitrary tilt, and their co-existence, on the behavior of the electron beam was studied. A prototype of an 800 GHz gyrotron with a sapphire window was developed to study the correlation between the misalignment and the beam trajectory. A method to determine the tilt angle and shift distance was proposed. The feasibility of the misalignment correction method was verified in the experiment.
