Bernstein mode quasi-optical gyroklystron
Abstract
The performance of a quasi-optical cyclotron harmonic gyroklystron operating on electron Bernstein modes is investigated. An expression for the linear power output has been derived. It is found that, for high order cyclotron harmonic operation, a gyroklystron involving the Bernstein modes has higher linear efficiency than a corresponding gyroklystron based on electromagnetic interactions alone.
