Multiparametric gyrotron power control during microwave processing of materials

Optimization of the control of gyrotron generation regime through consistent variation of the cathode voltage and solenoid magnetic field makes possible a significant (up to threefold) decrease in power consumption during microwave processing of materials. It is experimentally established that, for this purpose, it is possible to use fast (with a characteristic time on the order of a fraction of millisecond) modulation of microwave power through variation of the working magnetic field by the current of an auxiliary coil arranged near the cavity.
