Investigation of a wideband folded double-ridged waveguide slow-wave system

The folded double-ridged waveguide structure is presented and its properties used for wide-band traveling-wave tube are investigated.Expressions of dispersion characteristics,normalized phase velocity and interaction impedance of this structure are derived and numerically calculated.The calculated results using our theory agree well with those obtained by using the 3D electromagnetic simulation software HFSS.Influences of the ridge-loaded area and broad-wall dimensions on the high frequency characteristics of the novel slow-wave structure are discussed.It is shown that the folded double-ridged waveguide structure has a much wider relative passband than the folded waveguide slow-wave structure and a relative passband of 67% could be obtained,indicating that this structure can operate in broad-band frequency ranges of beam-wave interaction.The small signal gain property is investigated for ensuring the improvement of bandwidth.Meanwhile,with comparable dispersion characteristics,the transverse section dimension of this novel structure is much smaller than that of conventional one,which indicates an available way to reduce the weight of traveling-wave tube.

 为实现渐变螺距螺旋线慢波结构高频参数的高精度估计,基于MAFIA仿真平台,研究了螺距变化对超宽带螺旋线慢波系统(4~18 GHz)的色散、互作用阻抗与衰减常数的影响,获得了各高频参数随螺距变化的规律。研究表明：相速几乎随螺距增大而线性变大,互作用阻抗与螺距是非线性的关系,衰减常数随螺距增大而非线性地减小;由于在维持电子注与电磁波速度同步的限制下,螺距变化的幅度不可能很大,因此可近似按线性关系来处理互作用阻抗及衰减常数与螺距之间的关系。由此提出了一种可精确计算渐变螺距螺旋线慢波结构高频参数的方法－线性插值法     

Cherenkov radiation with arbitrary azimuthal mode number excited in a plasma-filled slow-wave waveguide

On the basis of the reference [1], excitation of Cherenkov radiation with arbitrary azimuthal mode number by a thin annular relativistic electron beam in a plasma-filled dielectric-lined slow-wave waveguide is studied in this paper. A determinantal dispersion equation is obtained. This general dispersion equation is valid for arbitrary azimuthal mode number, and the growth rate of the wave is derived from it. Finally, the effects of the background plasma density on the dispersion relation, the background plasma density and the electron beam radius on the growth rate of the wave are presented. Formulas and results offerd in this paper are general, and are of particular value of reference to the beam-wave interaction in azimuthally unsymmetrical slow-wave waveguide.This work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China and 863 Project.

Study of the double rectangular waveguide grating slow-wave structure

A slow-wave structure (SWS) with two opposite gratings inside a rectangular waveguide is presented and analysed. As an all-metal slow-wave circuit, this structure is especially suited for use in millimetre-wave travelling wave tubes (TWTs) due to its advantages of large size, high manufacturing precision and good heat dissipation. The first part of this paper concerns the wave properties of this structure in vacuum. The influence of the geometrical dimensions on dispersion characteristics and coupling impedance is investigated. The theoretical results show that this structure has a very strong dispersion and the coupling impedance for the fundamental wave is several tens of ohms, but the coupling impedance for --1 space harmonic wave is much lower than that for the fundamental wave, so the risk of backward wave oscillation is reduced. Besides these, the CST microwave studio is also used to simulate the dispersion property of the SWS. The simulation results from CST and the theoretical results agree well with each other, which supports the theory. In the second part, a small-signal analysis of a double rectangular waveguide grating TWT is presented. The typical small-signal gain per period is about 0.45 dB, and the 3-dB small-signal gain bandwidth is only 4\%.

Excitation of surface plasma waves over corrugated slow-wave structure

A microwave propagating along vacuum—dielectric—plasma interface excites surface plasma wave (SPW). A periodic slow-wave structure placed over dielectric slows down the SPW. The phase velocity of slow SPW is sensitive to height, periodicity, number of periods, thickness and the separation between dielectric and slow-wave structure. These slow SPW can couple the microwave energy to the plasma and can sustain the discharge. The efficiency of the power coupling is few per cent and is sensitive to separation between dielectric and slow-wave structure.
