3rd Harmonic W-Band Permanent Magnet Gyrotron Navy SBIR FY2006.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2006.2 Topic No.: N06-129 Topic Title: 3rd Harmonic W-Band Permanent Magnet Gyrotron Proposal No.: N062-129-0185 Firm: Calabazas Creek Research, Inc. 690 Port Drive San Mateo, California 94404-1010 Contact: Jeff Neilson Phone: (650) 367-1149 Web Site: www.calcreek.com Abstract: CCR proposes to developed a 3rd harmonic W-band gyrotron using a permanent magnet. Efficiencies in excess of 30% are expected by use of multi-stage depressed collector. Benefits: It is anticipated that successful completion of this program will provide a more robust, flexible, and lower cost W band source with a significant competitive advantage over similar systems. CCR will also promote this gyrotron for W-Band radar applications. Such radar systems are currently in development by the Navy. Return
