Book Description
The objective of this research program was to explore tapering of interaction tubes and magnetic fields as techniques for enhancing the performance of high power microwave gyrotron-backward-wave- oscillators (gyro-BWOs). Experiments were performed on the Michigan Electron Long-Beam Accelerator, (MELBA), which operated with parameters: voltage=O.7-O.9 MV, diode current = 1-10 kA, injected current = 1-4 kA, and pulselengths of 0.5-i microsecond. Microwave emission frequency was in the range from 4.5-6 GHz. Experiments on the fundamental cyclotron wave showed peak microwave tube power up to 40-55 MW over shortened pulselengths (

In the solid beam case (1-2 kA), about 300-800 kW of extracted microwave power was detected in the waveguide detection system, implying that approximately 3-8 MW (efficiency $\sim$1-2%) of power is generated from the gyro-BWO device. The pulselengths for the solid beam case were from 300-600 ns (essentially the total flat-top voltage pulselength) over a frequency range of 4.5-6 GHz. The

Book Description
The Pulsed Power and Plasma Science Laboratory at the University of New Mexico (UNM) has completed its initial phase of research on repetitively pulsed high power backward-wave oscillators (BWOs). The aggressive program that we had established seeked to address three basic goals: (1) Understand the physics of high efficiency vacuum BWOs using the Sinus-6 repetitively pulsed electron beam accelerator, (2) study vacuum and initiate plasma-filled long pulse BWO operations using the modified PI-110A accelerator, and (3) Study the prospects of incorporating ferroelectric ceramic cathodes in high power electron beam-driven microwave sources to improve their operations in the long pulse regime.

Book Description
A linear theory for a gyrotron backward wave oscillator (BWO) has been developed and is presented in this report. The theory solves a reduced one-dimensional Maxwell-Vlasov equation in the form of a linear integro-differential equation using Laplace transformation. The relative amplitudes among the waveguide modes and beam modes are completely determined and enable us to determine BWO oscillation conditions. A design is made based upon this analysis including velocity spread effects. A several tens kilowatt power level gyrotron BWO may be possible and find useful applications as rf heating sources in fusion devices and as driving sources in high power gyrotron amplifiers.

Book Description
Experimental and theoretical analyses, including particle-in-cell computer code simulations, are presented for the Gyrotron Backward Wave oscillator (Gyro-BWO) highpower microwave device. The Gyro-BWO has been designed, constructed, and initially tested as a frequency tunable device. The design has concentrated on a TE01, 4- to 6- GHz annular beam device. The annular beam is produced by the RAMBO pulser, which has a diode voltage of -300 to -800 kV and diode current of 1 to 20 kA. Initial results have shown that the device is operating in the backward wave mode. Initial results have also demonstrated that the device is magnetically tunable; that is, the frequency is tunable by adjusting the magnetic field. A Vlasov-type antenna is used for the extraction of the microwave signal on the diode end of the experiment, with initial power extraction of up to 2 MW ...
