Abstract
While classical microwave tubes use electromagnetic circuits of a rather complex shape where the field maps are also complex, a new field was opened in the last decades with much simpler circuits, allowing much higher powers or frequencies. A need for very high power at millimetre wavelengths appeared particularly in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion.
