  • Abstract
    A gyrotron oscillator capable of generating 100 kW of CW power is currently under development at Varian. The tube is being designed for operation in the TE031ocavity mode with the electron beam located at the second radial electric field maximum in the cavity. The electron beam will be produced by a magnetron injection gun and the 56 kG magnetic field required for 140 GHz operation will be provided by a superconducting magnet. Initial design calculations for the important elements of the tube are reported and the various technology issues of the tube design are discussed.
