Experimental Study of a Slot Antenna Excited by a TE011 Mode Coaxial Cavity

A slot antenna is developed to excite the high harmonic waveguide mode for generating large-area plasmas. This antenna consists of a TE₀₁₁ mode coaxial cavity with the axial slots positioned on equal interval on the inner wall. The waves radiated from those slots can excite the high harmonic mode in the central area. With the azimuthal symmetric wave field of the TE₀₁₁ mode, the number of the slots can be chosen to match the field pattern of the high harmonic mode. In this report, the dispersion relation of the coaxial waveguide, the coupling scheme and the mode competition of the cavity are studied. A method has been successfully developed to suppress the TE₁₂₁ mode which is the most competing mode to the TE₀₁₁ mode.     

Design of a TE42,7 coaxial cavity for a 1 MW, 280 GHz gyrotron

To provide the required mode selectivity for a 1 MW, 280 GHz gyrotron, a coaxial resonator operating in the high order TE_42,7 mode is considered. Mode discrimination is achieved both by exploring selective ohmic effects and examining the electrodynamic properties of the coaxial cylindrical waveguide. Analytic results indicate the effectiveness of a coaxial insert with a low electrical conductivity in rarefying the mode density of overmoded, megawatt hollow cavities.

Experimental investigation of a compact relativistic magnetron with axial TE11 mode radiation

As one of the relativistic electron tubes having compact configuration and high efficient output, the relativistic magnetron with direct axial radiation is very attractive in pulsed power and high power microwave fields for industrial and military applications. In this paper, the experimental investigation of a relativistic magnetron with axial TE11 mode radiation is reported. Under a total length of - 0.3 m, volume of - 0.014 m3, working at an applied voltage of 508 kV and a magnetic field of - 0.31 T, the relativistic magnetron radiates a microwave of 540 MW with the TE11 mode at 2.35 GHz in the axial direction. The power conversion efficiency is 15.0%. After a lot of shots, the detected amplitudes of microwaves are nearly the same. The fluctuations of wave amplitudes are less than 0.3 dB.     

Design of a Quasi-Optical System Converting the TE06 Output Mode of a Gyrotron into a Gaussian-Like Beam

Gaussian optics can be used to design a quasi-optical system converting the TE₀₆ mode output (f=388 GHz) of a submillimeter wave gyrotron into a well-collimated, linearly-polarized free-space beam with a circular cross-section. A quasi-optical antenna produces a main beam with an elliptical cross-section, which is then converted by two mirrors into a well-collimated beam with a circular cross-section.

Mode pattern obtained by scorching method shows that the mode of the output millimeter wave is TE ₁₃.     

Numerical Simulation of Waveguide TM01-TE11 Mode Converter Using FDTD Method

We study a transmission problem of an electromagnetic pulse with given transversal structure passing through a waveguide converter from TM₀₁ to TE₁₁ mode of circular waveguide. Using FDTD numerical simulation method we have investigated mode structure of the pulse at the output of the converter and its dependence on pulse length at the input. Also we have obtained frequency characteristic by calculating Fourier response for a pulse with wide spectrum.     

Mode selective directional couplers for overmoded waveguide systems

Two types of directional couplers for transverse electric (TE) modes are described: short and multihole couplers, respectively. They selectively pick one mode out of a mode mixture in an overmoded circular waveguide system. Unwanted modes are either statistically kept at low level or are suppressed by destructive interference in the coupling waveguide. Mode selectivity and directivity in multihole couplers oscillate up and down with an increasing number of holes, finally reaching a minimum of approximately 20 dB, unless there are competing modes with rational fractions of the beat wavelength. A multihole coupler for the TE₀₂ mode (28 GHz, 63.4 mm waveguide diameter, 41 holes) and a length of 1.6 m shows a calculated directivity of 68 dB and suppresses the unwanted modes TE₀₁ with 34 dB (24 dB), TE₂₂ with 37 dB (45 dB), and further modes TE_m (<5, m<6) with 17 dB to 34 dB in forward direction (figures in parentheses are for unwanted modes propagating in backward direction).A short directional coupler for the TE₀₁ mode (28 GHz, 63.4 mm waveguide diameter) with 16 holes and a length of 230 mm shows a directivity of 55 to 100 dB between 27.9 and 28.1 GHz, suppressing the TE₀₂ mode with 35 to 80 dB, the TE₀₃ mode with 30 to 65 dB, and the TE₂₂ mode with 30 to 70 dB.     

Design of a TE10-TE30 Rectangular Mode Converter for 4.6GHz LHCD Launcher in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak

A compact rectangular TE10-TE30 mode converter is developed for the lower hybrid current drive （LHCD） launcher on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak （EAST） at 4.6 GHz. The converter with periodic width perturbation aims to divide the microwave power into three sub-waveguides in the poloidal direction. We present the design and numerical calculation of the mode converter. Calculations are performed on the ripple wall converter by codes based on numerical solving the coupled-mode differential equations and on the simulation of the High Frequency Structure Simulator （HFSS） package. The resulting conversion efficiency from TE10 mode to TE30 mode exceeds 95% within the bandwidth from 4.56 GHz to 4.64 GHz, and the return loss of the oversized transducer can be considerably decreased to 0.068% by means of a capacitive button embedded in the E-plane of the waveguide.     

Application of obliquely interfering TE10 modes for electron energy gain

Two fundamental TE₁₀ modes are considered to interfere at a small angle θ and then propagate along the z-axis in an evacuated rectangular waveguide. The electron trajectory in the resultant field and the expressions for energy gain and the acceleration gradient are obtained, when the electron is injected along the z-axis. A 50 keV electron gains 718 keV energy in a 4.0 cm × 2.5 cm waveguide, when the microwave with intensity of 1 × 10¹⁰ W/cm² and frequency 5.577 GHz is used and the modes superpose at an angle of 10°; here the maximum acceleration gradient is obtained as 251 MeV/m. The energy gain and acceleration gradient are decreased with increasing width of the waveguide and microwave frequency. Higher gradient and larger energy gain are obtained for the higher microwave intensity, smaller angle of superposition and also when the electron is injected with larger initial energy.     

Compact HE11 to surface wave converters for high power waveguide dummy loads

The HE₁₁ mode in corrugated circular waveguide can be converted to the EH₁₁ mode (surface wave) by a short, smooth-waveguide phase shift section followed by a short corrugation depth taper. Low-power measurements at 110 GHz in 1.25 in. aluminum waveguide demonstrated approximately 99% conversion with the proper phase shift length. As expected, the conversion efficiency versus length of the phase shifter varied periodically with the period of the TE₁₁ to TM₁₁ beat wavelength. Since the EH₁₁ surface wave is highly attenuated, this type of converter can be used effectively in a compact high-power dummy load.     

A Single-Ridged Coaxial Hybrid TE011 Coupler with High Mode Purity

We design a single-ridged coaxial hybrid coupler which excites a TE₀₁₁ mode of high mode content in a cylindrical cavity, resonating at 28.2GHz. The coupler consists of a WR-28 rectangular waveguide, a coaxial TE_n11 cavity, and a cylindrical TE₀₁₁ cavity. Both TE₃₁₁ coaxial cavity and TE₄₁₁ single-ridged coaxial cavity are analyzed to examine the TE₀₁₁ mode purity in the central cavity. Mode purity analysis is performed by a field expansion method using Fourier-Bessel orthonormal basis functions. Numerical calculations predict that the TE₄₁₁ single-ridged coaxial cavity excites the TE₀₁₁ mode with mode purity of 98.6%, which is improved by 3% higher compared with the TE₃₁₁ coaxial cavity. Measurements on the single-ridged coaxial coupler show a resonant frequency at 28.078GHz and ohmic and external Qs of 1560, 473 respectively, which are in good agreement with the simulated results of a 3-D finite element electromagnetic code.     

TE03 to TE01 mode converters for use with a 150 GHz gyrotron

Two-step high-power TE03-to-TE01 mode transducers (TE02 is the intermediate mode) were designed to transform the TE03 output mode of the 150 GHz KfK gyrotron into the fundamental circular symmetric TE01 mode for low-loss propagation and further conversion into the linearly polarized quasioptical HE11 mode. The advanced perturbation structures of the ruppled-wall mode converters (with input- and output-diameter D=27.8 mm) were optimized by numerically solving the proper coupled-wave differential equations. The overall TE03-to-TE01 conversion efficiency at 150 GHz was calculated to be ₀=99.1% for a long converter (total length L=2.67 m) and ₀=97.8% for a short converter (L=1.07 m); ohmic attenuation is included. The corresponding theoretical bandwidth (for 95%) is ±1.4 GHz and ±2 GHz, respectively. Low-power experimental data are in excellent agreement with these computed values.

In this paper the effect of a thin metal layer (buffer) on the mode properties of indiffused waveguides with parabolic profile of the index is discussed. It is shown that such a buffer will not only strongly increase but will also change the sign of the “birefringence” between the two fundamental modes. These effects have been used in constructing a TE₀-TM₀ mode splitting device.
