  • Abstract
    The final preparations for bringing the University of Maryland´s 10-GHz, 30-MW gyroklystron experiment online are discussed. The authors explain the enhanced circuit modeling and present a two-cavity design with a predicted efficiency of 33% and gain of 27 dB for the simulated beam parameters. They then describe initial operation of the modulator and electron gun and detail the experimental design of the system.<>
