Abstract: | This paper presents a three-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC)
simulation of a Ka-band relativistic Cherenkov source with a slow
wave structure (SWS) consisting of metal photonic band gap (PBG)
structures. In the simulation, a perfect match layer boundary is
employed to absorb passing band modes supported by the PBG lattice
with an artificial metal boundary. The simulated axial field
distributions in the cross section and surface of the SWS demonstrate
that the device operates in the vicinity of the $\pi $ point of a

simulation of a Ka-band relativistic Cherenkov source with a slow
wave structure (SWS) consisting of metal photonic band gap (PBG)
structures. In the simulation, a perfect match layer boundary is
employed to absorb passing band modes supported by the PBG lattice
with an artificial metal boundary. The simulated axial field
distributions in the cross section and surface of the SWS demonstrate
that the device operates in the vicinity of the $\pi $ point of a
TM$_{01}$-like mode. The Fourier transformation spectra of the axial
fields as functions of time and space show that only a single
frequency appears at 36.27~GHz, which is in good agreement with that
of the intersection of the dispersion curve with the slow space charge wave
generated on the beam. The simulation results demonstrate that the
SWS has good mode selectivity. |
