Abstract

The frequency capture of radiation by an external signal was experimentally studied for the first time for a megawatt-power gyrotron. An external signal from the magnetron at a frequency of 35 GHz entered the working space of the gyrotron through a synthesized two-mirror quasi-optical converter that allowed transforming the input signal into a working mode. This converter has been recently developed and implemented in the Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences. The radiation spectra were experimentally obtained in modes of frequency capture and frequency beats. The dependence of the frequency capture bandwidth on the power of the external signal was found. Comparison of experimental results with the data of numerical modelling of gyrotron equations with an external signal showed their good agreement.
