Abstract: The electrical design of different components of 1MW, 170GHz gyrotron such as, magnetron injection gun, cylindrical interaction cavity and collector and RF window is presented in this article. Recently, a new project related to the development of 170GHz, 1MW gyrotron has been started for the Indian Tokamak. TE34,10 mode is selected as the operating mode after studied the problem of mode competition. The triode type geometry is selected for the design of magnetron injection gun (MIG) to achieve the required beam parameters. The maximum transverse velocity spread of 3.28% at the velocity ratio of 1.34 is obtained in simulations for a 40A, 80kV electron beam. The RF output power of more than 1MW with 36.5% interaction efficiency without depressed collector is predicted by simulation in single-mode operation at 170GHz frequency. The simulated single-stage depressed collector of the gyrotron predicted the overall device efficiencies>55%. Due to the very good thermal conductivity and very weak dependency of the dielectric parameters on temperature, PACVD diamond is selected for window design for the transmission of RF power. The in-house developed code MIGSYN and GCOMS are used for initial geometry design of MIG and mode selection respectively. Commercially available simulation tools MAGIC and ANSYS are used for beam–wave interaction and mechanical analysis respectively. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: This paper describes the design of a large sized diamond window for 1MW, 170GHz gyrotron. The diameter and the thickness of the diamond window are 80mm and 1.482mm, respectively, whose edge is directly cooled by water. The CST microwave studio has been used for the S-parameter, and finite element analysis code ANSYS has been used for the thermal and the structural simulation. The return loss (S 11) and insertion loss (S 21) of the 170GHz gyrotron window have been found −39.80dB and −0.011dB, respectively. The thermal and structural analysis of RF window the 397K temperature at disk center and maximum displacement 0.01mm has been found in the window disk during the thermal analysis.
