Use of Quasiregular Resonator Cavities with Short Phase Correctors in Gyrotrons Operated at Higher Cyclotron Harmonics

Resumo

We discuss the possibilities of using quasiregular resonator cavities with short irregularities, which ensure correction of the wave phase, in low-power gyrotrons operated at higher cyclotronfrequency harmonics. The use of such phase correctors can help with solving two problems, namely, increasing the selectivity of excitation of a higher cyclotron harmonic and decreasing the diffraction Q-factor of the gyrotron wave excited in an extended cavity.
