Development of a multiple stage depressed collector system for 2 MW CW gyrotrons

Summary form only given. Calabazas Creek Research Inc. is developing a multiple stage depressed collector system that includes the depressed collector, power supplies, and computer control system for 2 MW CW gyrotrons. The goal of the program, funded by the US Department of Energy´s small business innovation research program, is to develop a single system that will be applicable to all Gaussian mode gyrotrons operating between 100 GHz and 170 GHz. The Phase II program is funded, and the design is being finalized using a variety of simulation and analysis codes.
