Design and Demonstration of a TE22,6 Mode Generator for Testing Internal Converter of a Gyrotron

Gyrotrons have proven to be reliable sources in high power and high frequency applications. All modern day gyrotrons employ internal converters to convert the cavity interaction mode to a Gaussian output beam. To verify the design and implementation of the internal converter in cold test, a mode generator is needed. This paper describes the design and implementation of a TE
_22,6
mode generator at 95 GHz.
