We present the first experimental results of the study on a novel second harmonic THz-band doublebeam gyrotron. The tube has demonstrated a stable single-mode operation with output parameters that are appropriate for the next-generation 1.2 GHz dynamic nuclear polarization-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Besides the design mode (TE8,5), a series of other fundamental and second harmonic modes have been excited. This makes the new gyrotron a versatile radiation source, which can be used also in other applications of the high-power science and technologies.
