Journal of Communications Technology and Electronics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The state of the art for terahertz gyrotrons that are needed for various scientific research and practical applications is presented. Powers of 5 kW and 200 kW are obtained at frequencies of 1 and 0.7 THz using pulsed gyrotrons with pulse durations of tens of microseconds. A power of 100 W is demonstrated for cw gyrotrons at frequencies ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 THz.
