Simulation Investigation of Millimeter Wave Varactor-tuned Transmission Cavity-stabilized Oscillator

A new circuit configuration for millimeter wave varactor-tuned transmission cavity-stabilized oscillator has been proposed in this paper. Compared to conventional varactor-tuned reflection cavity-stabilized oscillator, in this configuration, a high quality factor transmission cavity directly coupled to varactor diode is employed to improve the performances of the oscillator. The operation frequency of this oscillator can be tuned by varying the resonant frequency of the transmission cavity through changing bias voltage of the varactor diode. An equivalent circuit model for the oscillator has been presented in order to theoretically investigate the performance characteristics of the oscillator. On the basis of this model, electrical tuning characteristics have been studied. Mode jumping phenomena during electrical tuning process have been analyzed for obtaining stable operations of the oscillator. The analytical formulae of quality factor and efficiency have been derived in terms of relevant circuit parameters. Particular emphasis has been paid on several circuit parameters which have a substantial impact on circuit performance. Some design considerations have been pointed out according to the simulation results, which are useful to the design and fabrication of this type of oscillators.     

Three Dimension Simulation of Millimeter Wave Double Staggered Coupled Cavity Structure

After analyzed the cavity field mean method theory resolution, the software simulation method to obtain the resonance frequency, Q value and RF dispersion by MAFIA and ANSYS software is discussed for the double staggered coupled cavity Millitron structure in the millimeter-wave TWT. The resonance frequency and Q value of the single cavity is obtained and is consistent with two kind of the simulation software. Their average error is about 0.6%. The two kind of the simulation result is consistent to the design precise. The simulation method saves on the cost and time in the experiment, improve the data precise and work efficiency. The trend of the dispersion simulation result is consistent with the cavity field mean method theory result. The high end of the theory result is great contrast to that of MAFIA result. It shows that the theory adopt some hypothetical conditions, But the theory result has some instructional signification in initialization design of the novel slow wave structure.

The combination of unifrontal and multifrontal techniques is applied for solving a large, sparse, and unsymmetric system of linear equations resulting from the use of edge-based finite element method (FEM) for millimeter wave ferrite devices.

The lower data movement of unifrontal method and the lower fill-in of normal multifrontal methods are combined for an algorithm with their features. The performance of typical waveguide junction circulators is analyzed and the calculated results are compared with those obtained from the literature.
