Abstract

We present a summary of the results achieved with our 30 MW gyro-amplifier test facility during the past several years. Twenty-one different tube configurations have been tested in 5 major categories: fundamental, second harmonic, and third harmonic gyroklystrons, as well as fundamental and second harmonic gyrotwystrons. We also present designs of experiments with fundamental and second harmonic coaxial gyroklystrons which are expected to produce output powers near 100 MW at 8.568 and 17.136 GHz, respectively, in the near future.<>
