Abstract :
An experiment has been carried out at NRL to test the potential of a gyrotron backward wave oscillator (Gyro-BWO) as a high power tunable mm-wave source. Voltage and magnetic tunability have been demonstrated in Ka-band. The initial operation of the device has shown >15% efficiency over the 27-29 GHz frequency range and > 5% up to 35 GHz. An improved experimental set-up is under preparation which will allow a detailed comparision with linear theory (1).
