Abstract

Summary form only given. A design for a /spl sim/1 kW pulse and /spl sim/100 W CW 360 GHz gyroklystron will be presented. The gyroklystron is for use in for Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy. Two and 3 cavity designs will be presented, The two cavity design has an output power of 750 W and a gain of 35 dB. A 40 keV beam with a velocity ratio of 1 is generated using a magnetron injection gun. Modeling with EGUN gives a spread in perpendicular velocity of 2.2%. Details of the design, including the electron gun, RF structure and output coupling system will be presented. For some EPR applications, packets of short pulses are required. To produce these, the modulating anode of the gun will be switched, and the means by which this will be done will also be discussed.
