Multifrequency theory of high power gyrotron oscillators

Abstract A multifrequency time dependent model for high power gyrotron oscillator operation is developed and presented. A computer code based on this model is then used to simulate recent experiments carried out at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The simulation code indicates that the probable cause for the degradation of efficiency observed in the experiment is mode competition. Additional informationNotes on contributorsT. M.
