曲折圆形槽波导慢波系统的高频特性

 对曲折圆形槽波导新型慢波系统的高频特性进行了研究,通过理论分析和数值计算,得到了它的色散曲线和耦合阻抗表达式,并分析了结构参数变化对色散特性和耦合阻抗的影响。研究表明：当周期变小时色散减弱,耦合阻抗增加;而增大直波导长度时色散变弱,但同时耦合阻抗也会下降。因此较小的周期有利于改善曲折圆形槽波导慢波电路的高频特性。鉴于这种电路的耦合阻抗较低,可以适当地减小直波导长度来提高耦合阻抗。曲折槽波导结合了曲折波导散热能力强、色散特性好、容易加工和槽波导单模工作、低损耗、大尺寸等优点,在毫米波及亚毫米波段的行波管中具有较好的发展前景。

Three-dimensional nonlinear theory of travelling wave tubes and simulation

A three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear theory of travelling wave tubes (TWTs) is developed, which includes a fundamental radio frequency (RF) and harmonics. When the instantaneous bandwidth exceeds an octave, the harmonic is generated and the mutual coupling between the harmonic and the fundamental RF can be observed in TWTs due to nonlinear interaction between the electron beam and the RF. At low frequencies the harmonic has an obvious effect.Based upon Tien‘‘s disc model, a plastic 3D super-particle model is proposed to improve the nonlinear analysis of TWTs.Numerical results employing a periodic magnetic focusing field are presented.

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\%.

Experimental verification of the mechanisms for nonlinear harmonic growth and suppression by harmonic injection in a traveling wave tube

Understanding the generation and growth of nonlinear harmonic (and intermodulation) distortion in microwave amplifiers such as traveling wave tubes (TWTs), free electron lasers (FELs), and klystrons is of current research interest. Similar to FELs, the nonlinear harmonic growth rate scales with the harmonic number in TWTs. In klystrons, the wave number scaling applies to the nonlinear harmonic bunching and associated nonlinear space-charge waves. Using a custom-modified TWT that has sensors along the helix, we provide the first experimental confirmation of the scaling of nonlinear harmonic growth rate and wave number in TWTs. These scalings of a nonlinearly generated harmonic mode versus an injected linear harmonic mode imply that suppression by harmonic injection occurs at a single axial position that can be located as desired by changing the injected amplitude and phase.

Design of Coaxial Couplers for High Efficiency Helix TWT

The main objective of the paper is to make an efficient design of the input and output coaxial coupler for a helix TWTs. An approach has been developed for the efficient design and analysis of the coaxial couplers in the practical situation. Normally multi-section impedance transformer approach is used for any wide band coupler. For a space helix TWT, coupler should be wide bandwidth and small size. In this case coupler is matched with helix slow wave structure and the standard 50-ohm connectors. The simulated return loss (dB) profile for different type of couplers is obtained by using Ansoft HFSS, CST microwave studio and compares those with experimental results. The tip loss design at sever ends for the input and the output section has been also optimized.
