This study investigates the design and performance of a 263 GHz continuous frequency-tunable gyrotron using a backward-wave component. The TE6,2 mode is selected for its broadband tuning capability and the cavity structure was optimized to enhance beam-wave interaction efficiency.

摘要

This study investigates the design and performance of a 263 GHz continuous frequency-tunable gyrotron using a backward-wave component. The TE6,2 mode is selected for its broadband tuning capability and the cavity structure was optimized to enhance beam-wave interaction efficiency. Using self-consistent nonlinear theory, the mode competition and working conditions are analyzed, revealing that the TE6,2+ mode dominates within the magnetic field range of 9.55–10.29T. The results demonstrate a frequency tuning range of approximately 10 GHz (from 263.17 to 273 GHz) with the efficiency stabilizes at around 4%. This research provides valuable insights into the development of high-power, frequency-tunable gyrotrons for applications in fusion plasma heating and NMR spectroscopy.
