Abstract

A method is presented which allows to calculate the large signal beam efficiency of a gyromonotron working at the s-th harmonic of the cyclotron frequency. The results of this calculation using efficiency optimized parameters are given for different TEmn distributions and also for a magnetic taper. It is shown that beam efficiencies, which are higher than twice the value at constant electric and magnetic fields are theoretically possible. Also the influence of the beam voltage is considered. For a given beam voltage and a given electric field distribution in the resonator power calculations are performed and it is shown what powerlevels are available for different resonator modes and for different cyclotron harmonics.
