MAGY: an innovative high voltage - low current power supply for gyrotron

Damien Fasel, Albert Perez, Ugo Siravo, Mauro Carpita

From the electrical point of view, the body and the anode of high power gyrotrons behave as capacitive loads. A highly dynamic power supply is, therefore, hard to achieve. The MAGY concept (Modulator for the Anode of a triode type GYrotron) embodies an inn ...
