Gyrotron travelling wave amplifier: III. A proposed wide-band fast wave amplifier
Abstract
A simple scheme is proposed for the construction of a wide-band fast wave gyrotron travelling wave amplifier. The key features of this scheme include a contoured waveguide, a tapered magnetic field, and injection of input signals in opposite direction of the streaming electrons. Bandwidths at tens of percents, and gain at tens of decibals, are projected.
