Description

A 10 MW, 91 GHz gyroklystron is under development for W-Band accelerator applications. The device will generate 1.5 microsecond pulses at 120 Hz and will be provided to Stanford Linear Accelerator Center for testing of W-Band accelerator components and subsystems. A magnetron injection gun operating at 500 kV will provide a 55 amp beam for interaction in a 5 cavity circuit. The output will be in a hybrid TE01/TE02 mode that can be converted to a more suitable mode at the accelerator. The device is expected to operate with efficiency close to 40% with a gain of 55 dB. A depressed collector will be implemented to allow improvement in the total efficiency to more than 50%
