Multi-frequency operation of DEMO gyrotron with realistic electron beam parameters

Abstract

Along with high power and high efficiency operation around 240 GHz, the requirements of DEMO gyrotrons include the possibility of multi-frequency operation and fast frequency tunability in 2-3 GHz steps. In this paper, multi-frequency operation of a proposed design for a conventional cavity DEMO gyrotron is presented, including operating parameters at different frequencies. The performance of the gyrotron is simulated considering realistic electron beam parameters.
