Abstract :
A 2M CW, RF load for gyrotrons was designed, built, and tested. A rotating launcher distributes the RF power along the loss surfaces. In addition to improving the heat dissipation, arcing caused by constructive interference is avoided. Several loads have been delivered, and the latest performance measurements will be presented.
