Research on the mode competition in a w-band lossy ceramic-loaded gyrotron backward-wave oscillator

Mode competition induces non-stationary oscillations during the operation of a gyrotron backward-wave oscillator (gyro-BWO), which severely reduces its tunable bandwidth and output power. Self-consistent nonlinear theory is used to study the modes-competition mechanism of a W-band fundamental TE01 mode gyro-BWO. Tapered non-resonant interaction circuit structure and loading lossy ceramic are employed to suppress the competing modes, as a way of preventing non-stationary oscillation in the circuit. Systematically optimized interaction circuit is capable of suppressing all the competing modes and can stably operate in the fundamental axial mode of the TE₀₁ mode. Calculation indicates that a peak power of 105 kW and a -3 dB tunable bandwidth of 5.4% are attainable. This is meaningful and provides a theoretical foundation for developing broadband millimeter gyro-BWOs in the applications of counter-measure system, non-destructive detection, plasma diagnosis, material processing, and so on.
