This book highlights the emission, transmission, and launching of an electron beam. It presents an overview and recent advances in order to enhance knowledge in the field of gyrotron in general and electron gun in particular. The book is presented in seven chapters starting with the introduction and ending with future possible directions in the field of electron beams and gyrotrons.

In this work the feasibility of a 4 MW 170 GHz coaxial-cavity gyrotron for continuous wave operation is demonstrated. For the first time complete physical designs of the major gyrotron components are elaborated. In a first step, one possible new operating mode is determined, followed by the development of detailed physical designs of the major gyrotron components: Diode and triode type electron gun, coaxial cavity, two-beam quasi-optical output coupler and depressed collector.
