Plate inserted coaxial micro-wave mode converter

Abstract

AT the place between inner and outer conductors of coaxial waveguide, along axial direction, the first, second, third and fourth metal plates are inserted. The angle between any neighboring plate is 90 degree. The first metal plate is shortest. The second and fourth metal plates are longest and have same length. The difference of metal plate length between third metal plate and first metal plate must meet following condition: the microwave electric field mode, in 180 degree scallop section waveguide composed of second and fourth metal plate, has a 180 degree phase difference with the microwave electric field mode, in 90 degree scallop section waveguide composed of second and third metal plate or third and fourth metal plate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-power microwave mode converter, in particular to a TEM mode of a coaxial waveguide to a TE of a circular waveguide 11 mode converter. Background technique [0002] Most high-power microwave sources have rotationally symmetric structures, and the modes they generate are mostly rotationally axisymmetric modes. Devices such as transition tubes, magnetic insulated wire oscillators, and relativistic klystrons that use coaxial structures to output microwaves output coaxial TEM modes, while axially extracted virtual cathode oscillators, relativistic return wave tubes, and tapered slow wave structures The generator produces a circular waveguideTM 01 mold. Whether it is a coaxial TEM mode or a circular waveguide TM 01 Due to the rotational symmetry of the aperture field distribution at the output port, it will result in a ring-shaped far-field pattern with zero axial direction, which is not conducive to the directional transm...
