Abstract

Numerical simulations using the PiC code Magic 3-D have investigated two distinct gyro-multiplier schemes. Subsequent results have predicted the operation of a single cavity device operating at the 2^nd and 4^th harmonics, at frequencies of 37.5 GHz and 75 GHz, respectively. As a result, this device is currently under experimental investigation. Additionally, a sectioned cavity device has shown promising output, delivering 4^th harmonic output at ~1.36 THz. Results of both schemes will be presented.
