Abstract
Gyrotwystrons with a large number of stagger-tuned prebunching cavitie s are promising wide-band high-gain amplifiers of electromagnetic wave s. In the present paper, a small-signal theory describing the tradeoff in the gain and the bandwidth in these devices is developed. The resu lts of the study of gyrotwystrons with one-, two-, and three-cavity pr ebunching sections are presented. These results show a significant inc rease in the bandwidth due to the stagger-tuning.
