The gyrocon is a high-power, high-efficiency amplifier that operates by deflection modulation of an electron beam. The spatial bunching can be better than the temporal bunching in a klystron, especially for high output powers and uhf frequencies. Soviet gyrocons have producea over 40 MW of pulsed power at 430 MHz and 250-kW cw at 181 MHz. The progress on the construction and testing of a 450-MHz prototype gyrocon is discussed. The maximum pulsed output power that has been achieved in the reporting period is 1 kW. Although these powers are significantly below the design goal of 650 kW, there is a good chance that the experimental program in FY-82 will result in increased output power. I.

We report the experimental demonstration of a 5th harmonic mm-wave frequency multiplying vacuum electronic device, which uses an over-moded spherical sector output cavity. In this device, a pencil electron beam is helically deflected in a transverse deflecting cavity before entering the output cavity. No magnetic field is required to focus or guide the beam. We built and tested a proof-of-principle device with an output frequency of 57.12 GHz. The measured peak power was 52.67 W at the 5th harmonic of the drive frequency. Power at the 4th, 6th, and 7th harmonics was 33.28 dB lower than that at the 5th harmonic.
