The possibility to employ low power gyrotron tubes (10-30 kW, CW) at millimeter wave frequencies
(30-100 GHz) has potential applications in advanced ceramic sintering, surface coating, radar, remote
sensing, etc.. In materials processing applications, the final shape of the beam is not relevant, because the
experiment have to be done in a cavity which has a metallic mode stirrer in order to obtain inside a uniform
distribution of the electromagnetic fields.
In this paper, we present a preliminar study, showing that it is possible to use high order modes in the
transmission line to carry the power to the final experiment efficiently.
