Journal ArticleDOI
High Power Wideband Gyrotron Backward Wave Oscillator Operating towards the Terahertz Region
TL;DR: The gyro-BWO generated a maximum output power of 12 kW when driven by a 40 kV, 1.5 A, annular-shaped large-orbit electron beam and achieved a frequency tuning band of 88-102 by adjusting the cavity magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Measurement of a Broadband Sidewall Coupler for a W-Band Gyro-TWA
TL;DR: In this article, a single-hole input coupler for a W-band gyrotron traveling-wave amplifier that operates at the frequency range of 90-100 GHz was designed and measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
A high directivity broadband corrugated horn for W-band gyro-devices
Paul McElhinney,Craig R. Donaldson,Wenlong He,Lei Zhang,Kevin Ronald,Alan D. R. Phelps,Adrian W. Cross +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-optical corrugated horn was constructed for a W band gyro-TWA1,2 based on a cusp electron beam source with a helically-corrugated interaction region, which is intended to provide an effective method to decouple the radiation and the beam so that a depressed collector energy recovery system may be used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wide-band HE11 mode terahertz wave windows for gyro-amplifiers
TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid HE11 output window based on the multilayer concept for high power gyro-amplifiers operating in the low terahertz region is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Output Coupler for a W-Band High Power Wideband Gyroamplifier
Paul McElhinney,Craig R. Donaldson,Johannes McKay,Lei Zhang,Duncan A. Robertson,Robert I. Hunter,Graham Smith,Wenlong He,Adrian W. Cross +8 more
TL;DR: An output coupler for a W-band high power wideband gyroamplifier has been designed, manufactured, and experimentally measured as mentioned in this paper, which consists of a high performance sin2-parallel corrugated horn integrated with a broadband multilayer window.
