New trends in gyrotron development

Abstract

Gyro-devices provide the highest CW or average power of microwaves in centimeter, millimeter and submillimeter wavelength ranges and therefore they are very attractive as microwave sources for many of applications such as plasma fusion, radiolocation, ion sources, telecommunication, technology, spectroscopy and some other. In last years an essential progress in the device development was demonstrated. The paper presents State-of the Art in the device development, new demands in the parameters enhancement and possible ways to achieve the goals.
