Operation of a stable 200-kW second-harmonic gyro-TWT amplifier

The experimental results are reported for a stable second-harmonic gyrotron traveling wave amplifier, which generated a record-breaking 207-kW output power based on the principle that the weaker harmonic interactions are more stable to spontaneous oscillations than at the fundamental, and therefore, capable of generating higher output power. The high-power amplifier was kept completely (zero-drive) stable by employing a mode-selective interaction circuit and web-matched directional input and output couplers, and choosing an amplifier interaction length shorter than the start-oscillation length for gyrotron backward-wave oscillations. The single-stage Ku-band amplifier utilized an 80-kV 20-A υ_⊥/υ_∥=1.1 electron beam from a magnetron injection gun and yielded an efficiency of 12.9%, an output phase variation of 10°/kV, a saturated bandwidth of 2.1%, a large-signal gain of 16 dB, and a detuned small-signal gain of 38 dB

Large-signal characteristics of a wide-band dielectric-loadedgyro-TWT amplifier

The bandwidth of a gyrotron traveling wave amplifier (gyro-TWT) has been significantly increased by partially filling the interaction waveguide with dielectric to reduce the circuit's dispersion. The proof-of-principle experiment was designed for X-band, and employs the fundamental mode of rectangular waveguide loaded with dielectric slabs along the narrow sidewalls. The amplifier yields a peak output power of 55 kW with 11% efficiency, 27 dB saturated gain, and an unprecedented untapered gyro-TWT constant-drive bandwidth of 11% and saturated bandwidth exceeding 14%. The single-stage amplifier is completely zero-drive stable. The 95-kV 5-A electron beam was produced by a single-anode magnetron injection gun with p_⊥/υ_z=0.6, as determined by the EGUN code, and Δυ_z/υ_z=4%, determined as the best fit to the gyro-TWT large-signal simulation data. Simulation studies predict that by lowering the velocity spread to Δυ _z/υ_z=2%, the amplifier performance will be further enhanced to a constant-drive bandwidth of 20% with 15% efficiency     

Influence of Reflections of the Output Port on Beam-wave Interaction in Gyrotron Traveling Wave Amplifier

Based on the nonlinear self-consistent theory of gyrotron traveling wave amplifier (gyro-TWA), the influence of the reflections of the output port with the taper on the beam-wave interaction in the gyro-TWA is studied. The simulation results show that the reflections have great effects on the TE₀₁ mode gyro-TWA operating at the fundamental. The influence of the taper angle and the interaction length on the beam-wave interaction and the power profile is discussed and the corresponding physical mechanism is analyzed. The saturated output power keeps same approximately with the increase of the taper angle in the presence of reflection while the saturated gain decreases obviously.

W-Band Second-Harmonic Gyrotron Traveling Wave Amplifier with Distributed-Loss and Severed Structures

The second harmonic TE₀₂ gyrotron traveling wave amplifier (gyro-TWT) is a high-power, broadband, millimeter-wave amplifier with a low applied magnetic field. Mode-selective interaction circuits were applied to suppressing spurious oscillations. However, the mode-selective interaction circuit may perturb the operating mode in the gyro-TWT. A multi-stage gyro-TWT design with distributed-loss and severed structures is proposed to stabilize the amplification. This study presents a nonlinear analysis of typical oscillations, including absolute instability, gyrotron backward oscillation (gyro-BWO) and reflective oscillation. The lossy and severed sections of the multi-stage gyro-TWT seem to increase effectively the start-oscillation currents of the absolute instability, gyro-BWO, and reflection oscillation. The multi-stage gyro-TWT is predicted to yield a peak output power of 215 kW at 89.9 GHz with an efficiency of 14.3 %, a saturated gain of 60 dB and a bandwidth of 1.7 GHz for a 100 kV, 15 A electron beam with an axial velocity spread _z/ _z = 5%.     

Cooperation of traveling and quasi-cutoff waves in a cyclotron-resonance maser

A new version of a cyclotron-resonance maser is studied theoretically and experimentally. Here, a spatially periodic helical electron beam couples traveling (autoresonance) and quasi-cutoff (gyrotron) waves of the same frequency, interacting with them at different cyclotron harmonics. The theory and early experimental results show that this maser can effectively generate a traveling wave with low quasi-cutoff wave excitation losses using a very simple feedback system.
