Abstract

A short review of gyrotron developments and applications is given with attention to both theory and experiments. Parameters for a point design for a gyrotron TWT amplifier described in a previous article are listed again, and a detailed examination of ancillary equipment is made with emphasis on the availability of high voltage and handling facilities at Goldstone. A safety-interlock tree for insuring longer tube life under operating conditions is proposed, and a sequence for turn on/off of the proposed tube is given. In addition, reasoning for the expectation of multimode output is presented.
