Abstract: | Mode conversion at discontinuities of an ordinary gyrotron cavity is examined. It is shown how the production of unwanted spurious modes can be reduced substantially by introducing smooth transition regions between the individual parts of the cavity. The cavity of the 140 GHz KfK gyrotron operating in the TE10,4 mode is used as an example. Cavity and adjacent tapered output waveguide are optimized as a single unit. |
