To the problem of energy recuperation in gyrotrons

A relatively high level of the minimal electron energy at the gyrotron output even at very large spread in pitch factor is explained. An estimation of the recuperation efficiency, which can be obtained due to this effect, is given.     

Spectral Domain Analysis of Coaxial Cavities

Coaxial cavities are used in high power gyrotrons as the beam-wave interaction structure. Much research has been devoted to their mode selective properties. A coaxial cavity lacks a sharp boundary at its open end, so it has some physical features that can only be observed using a spectral model, such as frequency-dependent field profiles and mode overlapping effects. These properties are important since cold tests are usually conducted in the frequency domain. This study applies the incident/reflected wave boundary condition to the wave equation of a weakly irregular coaxial waveguide. The resistivity of the wall is considered in the analysis. Calculations reveal that the fixed-position spectrum yields an uncertain resonant frequency and quality factor. Although the maximum-field spectrum can uniquely determine the properties of the coaxial cavity, the resonant frequency obtained using the maximum-field spectral model is inconsistent with that obtained using the temporal model. The field-energy spectrum explains the low Q nature of the coaxial cavity. Moreover, resonant frequencies evaluated using the field-energy spectrum agree precisely with those evaluated using the temporal model.     

Study of the bandwidth characteristic of a non-reflection-type gyrotron TWA

With a set of equations for the self-consistent large-signal interaction derived in this paper, the bandwidth characteristics of a non-reflection-type gyrotron-TWA using a tapered waveguide and tapered magnetic field system have been analysed. Numerical calculations indicate that under defined conditions an instantaneous bandwidth of nearly 10 % at a center frequency of 35 GHz with a length of the order of only8 cm of the rf interaction region could be achieved.

复合腔回旋管高频结构

为了提高回旋管的工作效率,高频结构中的模式之间的竞争是急需解决的问题。从模式耦合理论出发系统地研究了回旋管中过渡渐变复合腔的高频场结构,同时考虑了TM型寄生模式对工作模式的影响。通过对耦合系数的分析,为了降低模式之间的耦合程度,采用曲线作为回旋管中高频结构的渐变段。用三维电磁仿真软件和自主开发的程序对高频结构进行计算。计算结果与传统的线性渐变段谐振腔相比,采用非线性类型的谐振腔具有更强的模式抑制能力,并且该类型腔体中能够激励起更强的场幅值。     

回旋管同轴谐振腔模式的选择

为了研究回旋管工作模式的选择机理,分析了圆柱波导开放式谐振腔、光滑同轴谐振腔和纵向内开槽同轴谐振腔相应波导的色散特性,进而研究了这些谐振腔内模式竞争的问题。对同轴结构波导色散方程作了相应的数值计算,结果表明,同轴谐振腔利用自身色散曲线与谐振腔内外半径比值的数值关系,能够使在开放式谐振腔内无法工作的高阶模式在其内部稳定工作。最后,以德国卡尔斯鲁厄理工学院(KIT)研制的同轴回旋管为例,进行了相应的分析计算,结果表明纵向内开槽同轴谐振腔相对于光滑同轴谐振腔更适合高阶模式的稳定工作。     

Improved directional couplers for overmoded waveguide systems

The performance of multihole directional couplers can be considerably improved by placing a second hole structure to the existing one. The improvement may be aimed at directivity or at suppression of certain unwanted modes propagating either in forward or backward direction.     

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.
