94-GHz 25-kW CW low-voltage harmonic gyrotron

A low-voltage second-harmonic gyrotron intended as a compact lightweight source has been designed and evaluated with a particle-tracing code and the particle-in-cell code MAGIC. The two codes are shown to be in good agreement when applied to a conventional fundamental-frequency gyrotron and also to the novel second-harmonic gyrotron. The 25-kW continuous wave (CW) 94-GHz gyrotron with a predicted conversion efficiency of 32% and device efficiency of 22.5% is driven by a 25-kV 4.5-A (υ_⊥/υ₂=1.5, Δυ_z/υ_z=7%) electron beam from a magnetron injection gun and employs a low-loss TE₀₂₁/TE₀₃₁ complex cavity for mode control. Although the 17-kG CW gyrotron will use a cryogen-free high-T_c superconducting magnet, a 94-GHz prototype will be tested at low duty with a conventional low-T_c superconducting magnet

An experimental loop has been set up to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a hot water aquifer store and to validate an original physical model and code as well as the engineering based on it. The model applies to a “reference aquifer” and an appropriate exploitation system, as defined in the text.

Effect of cavity geometry on the performance of a gyrotron

The effect of interaction cavity geometry on the gyrotron performance in terms of cold cavity parameters (Q value and axial electric field profile), Ohmic wall loss, start oscillation current and interaction efficiency are analyzed in detail in this article.

Axisymmetric Waves in Re-Entrant Cavities

We employ a well-established method to determine the dispersion properties of transverse magnetic and transverse electric waves in re-entrant cavities. We assume that the waveguide structure consists of a large number of identical cavities in order that the Floquet theorem could be applied to describe the electromagnetic field in an empty cylinder. Furthermore, we describe the electromagnetic field in each cavity region by an eigenfunction expansion for standing waves. Inferring boundary conditions leads to a system of two infinite sets of equations, which is solved numerically by truncation. A numerical code has been developed to calculate the dispersion relation and the electromagnetic field components. Numerical results are presented for several waveguide geometries, including the case of the real gyrotron beam-tunnel geometry. A comparison with already established codes is made.     

Numerical Study of Mode Competition in Coaxial Cavity Gyrotrons with Corrugated Insert

A time-dependent self-consistent multimode code which allows to model the interaction between the modes of a coaxial cavity gyrotron operating at the fundamental and/or at higher harmonics of the cyclotron frequency is presented. The Method of Moments (MoM) is used to obtain a rigorous solution of the eigenvalue problem for a coaxial waveguide with corrugated insert. It is shown that the use of the Surface Impedance Model for the calculation of modes operating at higher harmonics leads to incorrect results in high-power coaxial cavity gyrotrons. However, the numerical simulations based on the MoM agree well with the available experimental results.
