The design study of dual frequency gyrotron operating at 42/84 GHz frequencies with output power ∼500 kW is presented in this article. TE 10,4 and TE 6,2 are selected as the operating modes for 84 and 42 GHz operations of the device, respectively. The beam-wave interaction simulations are performed by using the Particle-in-Cell algorithm to evaluate the growth of RF power and frequency. Magnetically tunable magnetron injection gun is also designed to launch the electron beam at the radius of 6.2 mm (84 GHz) and 7.3 mm (42 GHz) in the interaction cavity. The CVD diamond RF window is also designed, which must be transparent for 42 GHz and 84 GHz frequencies. The design results of the dual frequency gyrotron confirm the growth of ∼500 kW power at 42/84 GHz. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The design work of 95 GHz, 100 kW gyrotron for Active Denial System (ADS) application is reported in this manuscript. The mode selection is performed considering the various technical constraints. Particle-in-Cell code and indigenously developed code based on the generalized non-linear formalism are used in the beam–wave interaction computation and cavity design. Both the codes show good similarity in results. In addition, the design of electron beam source of 364 kW beam power, beam tunnel, depressed collector and RF window are also discussed. The design results confirm the RF power >100 kW with ≈50% tube efficiency. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

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: In this paper, the three-dimensional simulation of triode-type magnetron injection gun (MIG) for 120GHz, 1MW gyrotron is presented. The operating voltages of the modulating anode and the accelerating anode are 57kV and 80kV respectively. The high order TE22,6 mode is selected as the operating mode and the electron beam is launched at the first radial maxima for the fundamental beam-mode operation. The initial design is obtained by using the in-house developed code MIGSYN. The numerical simulation is performed by using the commercially available code CST-Particle Studio (PS). The simulated results of MIG obtained by using CST-PS are validated with other simulation codes EGUN and TRAK, respectively. The results on the design output parameters obtained by using these three codes are found to be in close agreement. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
