Abstract The gyrotron system forECH and burn control onITER requires at least50MW ofRF power at frequencies near170GHz operating inCW. To meet these requirements, high efficiency gyrotron tubes with ≥1MW power output capability are necessary, as well as simple coupling to either a quasi-optical or waveguide transmission line. The paper reports the feasibility study on the design of anITER-relevant gyrotron oscillator at170GHz,1MW CW employing a diode electron gun, an advanced internal quasi-optical converter, a cryogenically cooled single disk sapphire window, and a depressed potential collector. The operating mode selection and the cavity design is a compromise between many design constraints.
