Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a relativistic backward wave tube, in particular to an overspeed-modulated relativistic backward wave tube with a coaxial pre-modulation cavity. Background Art

[0002] Relativistic backward-wave tubes (BWTs) offer high microwave output power and conversion efficiency, stability and reliability, and suitability for repetitive frequency operation, making them one of the most promising high-power microwave devices. To meet the urgent need for lightweight and miniaturized high-power microwave generators, research on high-efficiency BWTs is currently underway.

[0003] Existing relativistic backward wave tubes such as Figure 1 As shown in (Role of second harmonic in the optimization of microwave conversion efficiency from an intense relativistic electron beam[J], Renzhen Xiao, Huida Wang, Kun Chen, and Yanchao Shi. IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, vol. 69, no. 12, pp. 2021-2027, Dec. 2021). It includes a ring cathode 01, a dual premodulation cavity 02, a resonant reflector 03, a first-segment slow-wave structure 04, a drift segment 05, a second-segment slow-wave structure 06, an extraction cavity 07, an output waveguide 08, and a magnetic field coil 09. The annular cathode 01 is located at the front end of the structure and emits a circular relativistic electron beam backward under the action of a high-voltage pulse; the dual pre-modulation cavity 02, the resonant reflector 03, the first slow-wave structure 04, the drift section 05, the second slow-wave structure 06, the extraction cavity 07 and the output waveguide 08 are placed in sequence on the rear side of the annular cathode 01; the magnetic field coil 09 is installed on the periphery of the entire structure to generate a guiding magnetic field to confine the circular relativistic electron beam.

[0004] During operation, the annular cathode 01 emits an annular relativistic electron beam, which is guided by the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field coil 09 and passes through the dual pre-modulation cavity 02, the resonant reflector 03 and the first slow-wave structure 04 to obtain a certain speed modulation. In the drift section 05, the energy dispersion of the electron beam is reduced, and the speed modulation is converted into density modulation to form a cluster. Cherenkov radiation is generated in the second slow-wave structure 06 and is re-accelerated at the last ripple of the second slow-wave structure 06. Most of the Cherenkov radiation is converted into kinetic energy of the cluster, and the cluster generates transition radiation in the extraction cavity 07. Part of the kinetic energy of the annular electron beam is converted into microwave energy. The annular electron beam is collected by the output waveguide 08, and the high-power microwave is output through the output waveguide 08.

[0005] This technology uses a dual pre-modulation cavity 02. In the simulation, when the diode voltage is 690kV and the beam current is 7.3kA, the X-band microwave power obtained is 3.10GW, and the efficiency is only 72%, which is relatively low. Summary of the Invention
