Abstract
In the course of developing a low-power, tuneable millimeter-wave source, two gyrotrons have been constructed. Gyrotron I was a fixed-frequency device operating at 120 GHz while Gyrotron II produced more than 20 lines in the frequency range 130 to 260 GHz. The design of tuneable gyrotrons is discussed with reference to the Gyrotron II results.
