  • Abstract
    A novel method for cold testing a gyrotron resonator to determine its total Q is presented. Probing radiation is coupled into the resonator through its radiation pattern. A sensitive heterodyne receiver is used in the far field to detect the reradiated cavity resonances. Good agreement between measurement and calculated total Q is found for several 140-GHz gyrotron resonators in the TE031, TEsub 032/, TE231, and TE611 modes.
