Abstract :
The feasibility of manufacturing a 2-MW CW coaxial cavity gyrotron at 170 GHz has been demonstrated and data required for fabrication of an industrial tube have been obtained. An engineering design of a prototype started recently with the goal to provide gyrotrons with 2-MW microwave output power for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The design of critical components of the prototype tube as electron gun, cavity and RF output system will be verified under realistic conditions at short pulses using the experimental coaxial gyrotron at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe.
