P3-1: Design of 42 GHz, 200 kW Gyrotron

The design of 42 GHz, 200 kW Gyrotron has been carried out using in-house and commercially available software's. A triode type MIG has been designed using EGUN code and three in house developed codes MIGSYN, GINTMESH and MIGANS respectively. A weakly tapered interaction cavity has been designed to excite TE

operation mode. A software GCAVSYN has been developed to synthesize the cavity geometry and selection of the operating mode. The cold cavity analysis was carried out using commercially available PIC code MAGIC. An axial output power above 200 kW has been obtained at the guiding magnetic field 1.60T-1.65T. The behavior of generated rf power in beam tunnel has been simulated using the CST Microwave Studio and Ansoft HFSS. The different lossy ceramics have been studied for reflection, transmission and absorption. A good agreement has been found in the simulated results from both the software. The design of collector has been optimized to achieve the maximum beam spread.
