Abstract
Latest results from a second harmonic gyro-TWA experiment at Strathclyde University are presented. The Ka-band experiment uses a helically corrugated waveguide. Simulations have been performed to predict the amplifier gain and bandwidth. The simulations are compared to laboratory measurements of the cold waveguide dispersion using a new, improved design of polarization converter.
