  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. A broadband, W-band gyro-traveling-wave-tube (gyro-TWT) amplifier is currently under development at CPI. The gyro-TWT is to be used as a driver for other previously developed and planned high-power W-band gyro-amplifiers. The specifications for the TE01 mode amplifier are given in this paper, along with design details for the electron gun and interaction circuit, as well as amplifier performance predictions.
