Dependence of Output Power on Cavity Length in a Gyrotron Backward Wave Oscillator

A relativistic electron beam (500 keV, 200 A, 10 ns) generated magnetically tunable microwave radiation in a frequency range of 9-13 GHz when it is injected into an X-band rectangular waveguide immersed in a uniform axial magnetic field (4-10 kG). The mechanism of the microwave radiation was identified as the gyrotron backward wave interaction. The output power of the radiated microwave increased exponentially with the increase of the cavity length.

A mildly relativistic electron beam (500keV, 200A, 10ns) injected into an X-band rectangular waveguide immersed in a uniform axial magnetic field (4-10kG) produced magnetically tunable microwave radiation in the 9-13 GHz frequency range with an estimated output power of 1MW.

Transmission characteristics of wave modes in a rectangular waveguide filled with anisotropic metamaterial

In this paper, transmission characteristics of wave modes in a rectangular waveguide filled with lossless anisotropic metamaterial are theoretically investigated. The wave equation and dispersion relations for TE and TM modes in the waveguide are obtained and analyzed. It is shown that the negative constitutive parameters of the filling anisotropic metamaterial can be used to control the wave magnitude and the phase velocity direction in the waveguide over the entire frequency domain, both below and above the cutoff frequency. Particularly, not only backward waves, but also forward waves can propagate below the cutoff frequency in the waveguide. Furthermore, a typical example is calculated to demonstrate transmission characteristics of waves inside the waveguide. Numerical results are obtained in the paper and compared with theoretical predictions: a good agreement is found.

Experimental analysis of metal coated dielectric waveguides

This paper concerns the experimental characteristics of metal coated dielectric waveguides with a rectangular surface corrugation. Waveguide are designed to operate at a second Bragg frequency of 90 GHz. The period, height and the duty cycle of a rectangular grating were calculated using the chosen frequency. A metallic layer of aluminum is sputtered on one side of the slab waveguide. The purpose of the metallic layer is to simulate a layer of high density plasma on the surface of the waveguide similar to that obtained by optical excitation of semiconductor structures. Experiments were performed to examine the far field radiation pattern, attenuation constant and the dispersion relation. Due to the presence of the plasma layer there will be an angular shift in the far field radiation pattern. We have observed angular shifts of about 20 in the radiation pattern of the waveguide before and after coating. Measurements are made in the frequency range of 88–95 GHz. This waveguide structure can be used to design an electronically steerable antenna and an electronic phase shifter operating in the millimeter-wave frequency band.Supported in part by the Army Research Office.     

Broadband characteristics investigation of waves in a left-handed miniaturized waveguide loaded with ISRRs

In this paper, broadband transmission characteristics of waves in a left-handed miniaturised rectangular waveguide (LHMRW) loaded with improved split ring resonators (ISRRs), which shows that the bandwidth of negative permeability is up to 5.6 GHz by an optimization design, are investigated. Some unexpected phenomena such as the discontinuous left-handed passband below the cutoff frequency of the dominant TE mode, which cannot be transformed into a continuous one by any impedance matching approach, are observed. The EM field distributions in the LHMRW are calculated so as to explain these phenomena. Results show that the LHMRW can be considered as an open ended resonant cavity instead of a normal transmission structure. In addition, the backward wave inside the time domain in the LHMRW is directly observed. PACS 78.70.Gq; 81.05.Zx; 84.40.Ba

Theoretical models for designing a 220-GHz folded waveguide backward wave oscillator

In this paper,the basic equations of beam-wave interaction for designing the 220 GHz folded waveguide(FW)backward wave oscillator(BWO) are described.On the whole,these equations are mainly classified into small signal model(SSM),large signal model(LSM),and simplified small signal model(SSSM).Using these linear and nonlinear one-dimensional(1D) models,the oscillation characteristics of the FW BWO of a given configuration of slow wave structure(SWS) can be calculated by numerical iteration algorithm,which is more time efficient than three-dimensional(3D)particle-in-cell(PIC) simulation.The SSSM expressed by analytical formulas is innovatively derived for determining the initial values of the FW SWS conveniently.The dispersion characteristics of the FW are obtained by equivalent circuit analysis.The space charge effect,the end reflection effect,the lossy wall effect,and the relativistic effect are all considered in our models to offer more accurate results.The design process of the FW BWO tube with output power of watt scale in a frequency range between 215 GHz and 225 GHz based on these 1D models is demonstrated.The 3D PIC method is adopted to verify the theoretical design results,which shows that they are in good agreement with each other.     

Light transmission along a slab waveguide with a core of anisotropic metamaterial

We investigated the dispersion property of a slab waveguide with an anisotropic metamaterial core whose permittivity tensor is partially negative. The subwavelength guidance characteristics are presented based on the boundary conditions. The results show that, at some specific frequencies, many high-order modes can exist in present waveguide even with the thickness of the guiding core 10 times smaller than the working wavelength. It is also found that different orientations of the optical axis of the anisotropic core will lead to different dispersion of the guided modes. If the orientation of the optical axis is properly chosen, the guided modes show a transition from backward wave to a forward wave as the frequency increases. During this transition, the group velocity of some guided modes can approach zero. Since the anisotropic metamaterial we discuss here can be fabricated in GHz, near- and mid-infra-red frequencies, our result may find some applications in wave trapper, integrated optical and nanophotonic devices.

磁压对级联爆磁压缩脉冲发生器性能的影响

为了研究负载为mH量级的间接馈电两级级联柱-锥构型的爆磁压缩产生器的基本物理过程和能量转换机理，利用描述爆磁压缩物理过程的2维爆轰磁流体力学程序MFCG(Ⅴ)，以实验模型结构参数为基础模拟计算了一系列模型，分析了磁压对金属套筒径向膨胀速度及膨胀过程的影响。计算结果表明:套筒的径向膨胀速度取决于爆轰压与磁压的共同作用，在爆磁压缩过程的绝大部分时间里，向外膨胀的爆轰压都远大于向内压缩的磁压，因而套筒的径向膨胀速度主要是由爆轰压决定;但是在功率放大级的后半段，也就是发生器电流增长最快阶段，磁压也迅速增长，它的增长大大降低了套筒的径向膨胀速度；在功率放大级的后期，磁压已经超过爆轰压，它对系统设计的影响已经不能完全忽略。
