The multi-mode gyrotron

It is possible to provide a situation in the gyrotron when it possesses a dense spectrum of axial eigenmodes having different frequencies but almost similar Q-factors. In this case, the single-frequency operation of the gyrotron is provided due to non-linear competition of the eigenmodes. It is show...

Description
Summary:It is possible to provide a situation in the gyrotron when it possesses a dense spectrum of axial eigenmodes having different frequencies but almost similar Q-factors. In this case, the single-frequency operation of the gyrotron is provided due to non-linear competition of the eigenmodes. It is shown that such an approach opens a way to provide in gyrotrons a close-to-continuous frequency tuning.
