Preface

A gyrotron traveling-wave tube (gyro-TWT) amplifier is capable of generating highpower and broadband coherent electromagnetic radiation on the level of hundreds of kilowatts in the millimeter-wave range. It is one of the most promising candidates of the electromagnetic-wave power amplifier for the next generation of imaging radars and long-range high-data-rate wireless communications. It would play an important role in many fields, such as national security, small objects tracking in the outer space, accurate atmosphere and weather monitoring, and so on. A gyroTWT amplifies the driving power based on the convective instability principle of the relativistic electron cyclotron maser (ECM).
