Abstract :
Recent experimental results of the development of a frequency step tunable gyrotron suitable for continuous (CW) operation are presented. In recent experimental measurements a newly developed elliptically brazed CVD diamond Brewster window was tested in a short pulse regime up to 2 ms pulse length. It has been shown that the window is capable to transfer an RF-power of up to 1.3 WM operating in the frequency range 112-166 GHz (D-band).
