Abstract

We present designs for gyroklystron amplifiers capable of producing 100-150 MW of output power in 1-2 μs pulses. For accelerator applications we plan to employ a second harmonic output cavity operating at 17.136 GHz. Initial experiments to test our new beam production and transport facilities will involve energy extraction from the fundamental cyclotron harmonic at 8.568 GHz. In both cases the microwave circuits employ coaxial cavities and drift tubes to limit spurious oscillations and cavity cross-talk
