Study of the beam-wave interaction of a 0.34-THz confocal waveguide gyro-TWT with confocal beam

In this paper, in order to enhance the efficiency of the confocal gyrotron travelling wave tube (confocal gyro-TWT), the confocal beam is first introduced based on the field distribution of the operating mode in the confocal waveguide. Besides, a confocal gyro-TWT with a confocal beam operating at 0...
