Resonant Cavities for Frequency Tunable Gyrotrons

摘要

In this paper we present, discuss and compare several concepts based on both well-known and novel ideas for tunable gyrotron cavities. Although theoretical and design considerations are presented and discussed together the main focus is on the underlying principles and feasibility of different approaches rather than on their specific implementations. Illustrative examples are provided for configurations and frequency range appropriate for gyrotrons used as radiation sources for NMR spectroscopy with signal enhancement through DNP.
