Abstract :
A high power microwave-assisted plasma heating experiment is underway at KBSI. The plasma heating system consists of a 28 GHz, 200 kW gyroklystron amplifier, TE01 transmission lines with low loss mitre bends, and a quasi-optical mode launcher. The design of the 200 kW gyroklystron amplifier has been completed. An experimental tube for peak power demonstration is fabricated and currently under rf cold-tests.
