Abstract
In this paper we present a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and experimental studies on gyrotrons operating at harmonics of the electron cyclotron frequency. Besides the conventional (small-orbit) gyrotrons, three other types of such devices are considered, namely large-orbit gyrotrons (LOG), double-beam gyrotrons, and gyro-devices with a frequency multiplication. Based on a comparison between them and the devices that work on the fundamental resonances, both the advantages and disadvantages of the harmonic gyrotrons are critically examined. Such an analysis is helpful for choosing between different alternative concepts in the design process of appropriate radiation sources for various applications.
