GYROTRONES WITH CONE-SHAPED RESONATORS by S. V. Kolosov, I. E. Zaitseva

“…Through a scientific study we revealed an increase in the efficiency for gyrotrons with conical resonators from 23 to 50 % in the TE01 wave. It is worth mentioning that obtaining such efficiency requires phase grouping of the electrons in an increasing high-frequency field by means of an electromagnetic field with further selection of energy from the electron beam in a strong decaying electromagnetic field. …”
