INTRODUCTION rW:- The purpose of this program was to study the various approaches to \ " ' " - II building an amplified to produce 100 kW or more cw power at 120 .GHz to decide on an optimum approach, and,to perform design calculations. The stuc .y has led Q to the conclusion that a cyclotron resonance amplifier (gyrotron) is the optimum approach for 100 kwland that this type of interaction offers the best possibilities o 1 ;i • P for going to still"higher power levels. ! This report includes discussion in depth of all"the topics and approaches ! . ° 1 considered in the study. Sections 2 and 3 deal with output waveguide and window ' | " c • >. ' " O "I •• o designs. The fourth section discusses linear-beam amplifiers. The fifth section . o. It „ . II .considers periodic-beam (other than cyclotron resonance) devices. !! I ,. 0 si • ii - i Some readers may wish to bypass"these early sections of the report and i' I iv begin with Section 6 which considers cyclotron resonance devices in detail, or • 1 Section 7 which summarizes the. arguments leading to the choice of the gyrotron r as the optimum approach= ".

WAVEGUIDE DESIGN ' ; ' o • • v • / " A single-mode, rectangular TE waveguide, 0.080 inch wide by 0.040 inch high, has an attenuation of about 4.3 dB/meter at 120 GHz1 assuming ri skin " 'n .• • • resistance of 0.. 11 ohms per square for copper. This is more realistic than the « w ^ dc based value of 0.09, although when surfaces are not htghly polished (electro- polished for example) skin resistance can easily reach double the dc base d 11 value. Even if this attenuation were acceptable, the power density on the waveguidu e surface 2 ' " at 100 kW would be a 1.6 kW/cm which would require heroic cooling measures, " and the electric field would be about 70,000 V/cm. For"this application, 'therefore, it would seem that there is little choice other than a multimode waveguide.
