Abstract :
A 95 GHz, fourth harmonic gyro oscillator is being investigated at Litton. The design centers around a new type of electron gun, the advanced centerpost (ACP) gun. This gun produces an axis-encircling beam which interacts with the RF fields in an 8-vaned magnetron cavity. Four of the vanes have slots in their outside diameters that couple into a coaxial cavity. Radiation is extracted from the coaxial cavity by a fundamental W-band waveguide.<>
