The invention relates to a
microwave source device in the technical field of high-power microwaves, in particular to an L-band compact relativistic Cerenkov
microwave generating device, and belongs to the technical field of high-power microwaves. Comprising a
cathode structure, an external electromagnetic structure and an internal electromagnetic structure, and the
cathode structure comprises a
cathode seat and a cathode; the external electromagnetic structure comprises an
anode outer cylinder, an outer
cut-off neck, outer conductor ripples, a collector, a collector baffle and a solenoid coil; the internal electromagnetic structure comprises an inner
cut-off neck, an inner conductor
ripple, a
short circuit block and a
microwave output port; the whole structure is rotationally symmetrical about a central axis; through reasonable design of an electromagnetic structure, a coaxial non-uniform double-
ripple slow-
wave structure is adopted to enhance beam-
wave coupling, a high-efficiency beam-
wave effect is realized in a relatively short period, and a coaxial collector structure is adopted to improve the
resonance characteristic of the slow-
wave structure to reduce the axial size, so that
miniaturization and compactness of the device are realized.
