A 40 A double-anode magnetron injection gun for a 1 MW, 110 GHz gyrotron has been designed. The preliminary design has been obtained by using some trade-off equations. The electron beam analysis has been performed by using the commercially available code EGUN and the in-house developed code MIGANS. The operating mode of the gyrotron is TE22,6 and it is operated in the fundamental harmonic. The electron beam with a low transverse velocity spread ( $$ \delta {\beta_{ \bot \max }} = 2.26\% $$) and the transverse-to-axial velocity ratio of the electron beam (α) = 1.37 is obtained. The simulated results of the MIG obtained with the EGUN code have been validated with another trajectory code TRAK. The results on the design output parameters obtained by both the codes are in good agreement. The sensitivity analysis has been carried out by changing the different gun parameters to decide the fabrication tolerance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a study which designed a triode-type magnetron injection gun of a 42-gigahert, 200-kilowatt gyrotron for an Indian TOKAMAK system by applying the code EGUN. The gyrotron is an instrument that can produce high powers at very high frequencies. The estimations are carried out to calculate the parameters connected to the cathode, the magnetic field, and the modulating anode voltage. The study is accomplished with the validation of the design by utilizing another code TRAK.
