Description

Phase measurements between a master oscillator and its slave gyroklystron have been made. The pulsed gyroklystron was operated both as an amplifier and as a phase triggered oscillator. As an amplifier, the phase jitter during the 3 μs pulse was 200; from pulse-to-pulse the jitter was 0.860. As a phase triggered oscillator the jitter of the firing point from shot-to-shot was < 70 even at input-to-output power ratios as large as 52 dB. The significance of these results for linear accelerator applications is discussed
