Abstract
The operation of a sixth-harmonic gyrofrequency multiplier is describe d. The initial experimental results produced 3.5 kW of 17.23 GHz radia tion from a 260 keV, 0.3 A, alpha = v(perpendicular to)/v(parallel to) = 4.8 axis-encircling electron beam in a near uniform. magnetic field . The output cavity conversion efficiency was measured at 4.5% compare d to the predicted value of 8% from a nonlinear simulation code. The d esign for a higher power, higher efficiency device utilizing magnetic tapering is also presented.
