摘要：
The development of small-orbit gyrotrons operating at voltages 1100 kV is reviewed. Gyrotron oscillators have been developed to produce unprecedented 200-kW average power levels at frequencies spanning the range of 28-140 GHz with current work aimed at achieving 1-MW average power, They are widely used in plasma-heating studies and are the natural choice for material processing in the millimeter-wave region, Gyrotron amplifiers have exceeded the peak power limits of more conventional amplifiers at both 35 and 94 GHz, and have been used in a few radars, Gyro-amplifiers under development have been designed to surpass both the peak power and the average power limits of conventional amplifiers, and are anticipated to be widely accepted in millimeter-wave radar systems, Gyrotron amplifiers operating at voltages similar to 0.5 MV that are being evaluated for accelerator applications were reviewed in this journal in 1996 and are not included in this review paper.
