Abstract
The quasioptical gyrotron (QOG) is a high power source of millimeter-wave radiation. An application of the QOG includes the processing of ceramics and other non-metallic materials. High power millimeter-wave radiation offer capabilities for the application of coatings, sintering, brazing and soldering, and treatment of polymers. An experiment to produce a kW average power from 75-95 GHz using a 20 kV, 1.5 A dc electron beam is investigated. Initial pulse testing is performed at 20-60 kV cathode voltage, 0-6 A in 13 μsec pulses.
