Abstract

The design and experiment of an upgraded W-band gyrotron travelling wave amplifier (gyro-TWA) based on a helically corrugated interaction region is presented. The upgrade of the input coupler, output window, corrugated output mode converter enabled a measured output power of a few kWs from the gyro-TWA with an unsaturated gain of up to 40 dB and a 3 dB frequency bandwidth of at least 5.5 GHz.
