Abstract: Magnetron injection gun (MIG) is an important and critical part of any gyrotron. The overall performance of gyrotron deeply depends on the quality of gyrating electron beam. In this article, the design of triode type magnetron injection gun for 200 GHz frequency tunable gyrotron is discussed. It is planned to design and develop a 200 GHz gyrotron for 300 MHz DNP-NMR spectroscopy. The triode MIG is designed in such a way that it can be used in 200 GHz gyrotron of higher RF power for other applications also such as electron spin resonance, imaging. First, geometrical and electrical parameters of MIG are calculated using trade-off and scaling equations. Based on the calculated parameters, further, electron beam trajectory simulations are performed in EGUN. The geometry of electrodes are optimized through numerous simulation iterations to achieve the required beam parameters, such as, minimum spread in velocity and guiding center radius, an optimum value of velocity ratio (1.3–1.5), guiding center radius as per the maximum beam-wave coupling strength. The magnet system is designed to achieve the smooth Gaussian type of magnetic field profile with peak value of 7.35 T at cavity center. Further detail parametric analyses are performed which would be helpful in the frequency tuning and long-time stable operation of gyrotron device.
