This invention discloses a coaxial magnetron with an externally loaded
metamaterial, comprising, from the inside out, an
anode blade
assembly, an
anode cylinder, a
metamaterial layer, and an outer cylinder. The
anode blade
assembly consists of multiple anode blades arranged in a uniform ring array, with adjacent anode blades forming a resonant inner cavity. The anode cylinder is fitted outside the anode blade
assembly, and its wall has multiple
coupling slots. The anode cylinder and the outer cylinder form a coaxial outer cavity, and the inner and outer cavities are connected and communicate with each other through the
coupling slots. The
metamaterial layer is disposed between the anode cylinder and the outer cylinder to connect the two. The metamaterial layer consists of multiple metamaterial units arranged in a ring array, and each metamaterial unit is a
copper sheet with a hollow
dumbbell pattern. This invention improves the compactness of the coaxial magnetron while ensuring efficiency, suppresses the competitive mode of the coaxial magnetron, and enhances the anode heat dissipation performance of the coaxial magnetron.
