title: Note: A 95 GHz mid-power gyrotron for medical applications measurements.
abstract: A mid-power 95 GHz gyrotron was built and used for measuring insertion loss of biological tissue. The gyrotron is a compact table-top device that allows convenient measurements in a biological setup. It operates at the fundamental harmonic with TE02 circular mode. A mode converter is used to obtain TE10 rectangular mode in standard WR10 components. Using this gyrotron, beef tissue insertion loss was measured to be about 7-8 dB per millimeter.
