Abstract :
Designers are developing high power gyrotrons for the next generation of electron cyclotron heating systems. Testing of both the gyrotrons and the transmission line systems require loads to dissipate the RF power produced or transmitted. Designers are developing 2 MW gyrotrons for long pulse or CW operation. This presentation describes an RF load capable of safely dissipating 2 MW of RF power continuously.
