Continuously tunable, split-cavity gyrotrons
Abstract
The cavity of the University of Sydney gyrotron, GYROTRON IIIB, is split in two longitudinally to allow and frequency that lies between the fixed cavity resonances to be accessed by mechanically changing the separation of the two halves. The rate of change in resonant frequency with separation is greatest if the minor axis of the cavity cross-section is the one undergoing change. Results obtained with the latest cavity demonstrate this and show excellent agreement with theory.
