Abstract :
This paper reports on a diamond Brewster angle window which has been used as a vacuum barrier in a 140 GHz step-frequency tunable high power gyrotron. This configuration ensures operation of the gyrotron at different frequencies without reflection of the RF power and provides excellent material properties of CVD diamond in the mm wave range.
