Non-autonomous regimes in gyrotrons with low-Q resonators

Abstract

Based on the description of wave propagation by a parabolic equation the time-domain theory of non-autonomous operation of gyrotrons with low-Q resonators has been developed. The influence of external signal is taking into account by modification of boundary condition at resonator output. Developed model can be effectively used for simulations of frequency-locking of gyrotron by external signal in soft and hard operation modes, frequency pooling with reflection from remote load, synchronization of several coupling gyrotrons.
