Influence of the microwave-signal reflection on the generation efficiency of tunable gyrotrons

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We estimate the decrease in the generation efficiency due to signal reflection from the microwave exit window of a wide-band gyrotron whose frequency is tuned by sequential mode excitation. The theoretical estimates are compared with the experimental data.
