  • Abstract
    A W-band four-cavity gyroklystron amplifier has been studied using the particle-in-cell (PIC) code. The amplifier operates in the fundamental harmonic TE01 circular electric mode. The simulation predicts 143kw output power at W-band with 33.8% efficiency, 37dB gain and 1GHz bandwidth.
