✦ Synopsis

Three experimental gyro travelling wave tubes have been built third experiment include measurements of stable gain as high as and tested. All tubes used a fundamental cyclotron resonance 24 dB small-signal and I8 dB saturated. A saturated power outinteraction with the circularly polarized TE;t dominant waveput of 50 kW at a total beam efficiency of 16.6% was measured guide mode. The tubes differed in the length of the single with a 3 dB saturated power output band-width of 6%. circuit section and in the amount of distributed loss used. The

The design features of the tubes and the experimental results experiments were conducted at 5 GHz, with the object of are described fully in a paper to be published in IEEE Tronsproducing a design that could be scaled to 94 GHz. Results on the actions on Microwave Theory and Techniques.
