TY - GEN AU - Flamm,Jens Hanspeter TI - Diffraction and Scattering in Launchers of Quasi-Optical Mode Converters for Gyrotrons SN - KSP/1000026613 PY - 2012/// PB - KIT Scientific Publishing KW - Diffraction KW - Scattering KW - Oversized Waveguides KW - Waveguide Antennas KW - Mode converters N1 - Open Access N2 - In this work different methods for the calculation of diffraction and scattering in launchers of quasi-optical mode converters for gyrotrons are compared, ranked and extended. The extension gives the opportunity to take a tapered average radius of the waveguide antenna into account. The comparison and the extension of the fast field calculation methods for component synthesis opens the possibility to reduce diffraction and stray radiation of reliable and powerful millimeter wave sources UR - https://www.ksp.kit.edu/9783866448223 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/45110 ER -
