METHOD OF INCREASING AND/OR ENSURING THE EFFICIENCY OF A GYROTRON, AND A GYROTRON DESIGNED TO CARRY OUT THE METHOD

摘要

The invention concerns a method of significantly increasing the efficiency of a gyrotron and a gyrotron designed to carry out the method. Optimum matching of the gyrotron geometry and the magnetic field enables the overall efficiency to be increased if a slightly undulating magnetic field exists in the resonator zone and if the commutator is electrically biased or has coaxial electrically biased zones disposed adjacent to each other in the axial direction.
