Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-power microwave transmission technology, specifically to a circular waveguide TE 01 Pattern bending structure. Background Technology
[0002] High-power microwaves (HPMs), as powerful electromagnetic pulses characterized by high peak power, high repetition rate, and short pulses, have significant applications in high-resolution radar, particle accelerators, directed energy weapons, and deep space exploration. In recent years, with the rapid development of engineering applications of HPM technology, miniaturization, compactness, frequency tuning, and bandwidth extension techniques for HPM systems have become the focus of current research in the HPM field. Among these, high-power microwave sources such as gyrotrons and traveling wave tubes commonly employ circular waveguides (TEBs). 01 The mode is used as the output mode. The electric field of this mode is symmetrically distributed in a circle, with the electric field direction along the angular axis of the circular waveguide and zero electric field on the waveguide wall, exhibiting the advantage of low ohmic loss at high frequencies. Therefore, the circular waveguide TE... 01 This mode is particularly suitable for long-distance microwave transmission. The curved structure of the circular waveguide can change the transmission direction of microwaves, which helps to achieve a reasonable layout in the HPM system and is one of the indispensable key components in the HPM transmission system. The transmission characteristics of the curved circular waveguide structure will also directly affect the performance indicators of the entire HPM system. Therefore, it is necessary to design a circular waveguide TE with a wide operating bandwidth, compact structure, and high conversion efficiency. 01 The curved structure is of great value in improving the overall performance of HPM systems.
[0003] In circular waveguide TE 01 In the mode-bent structure, both the input and output ports use overmode circular waveguides. If a bent circular waveguide is directly used for bending, it will excite the TE in the circular waveguide during the bending process. 11 TE 21 and TM 11 Parasitic patterns. These parasitic patterns will interact with the input TE. 01 Mode competition leads to reduced transmission efficiency in curved structures. To address this issue, Yuan Chengwei et al. from the National University of Defense Technology optimized the curvature radius of curved circular waveguides by calculating the mode coupling coefficients under different curvature radii based on mode coupling theory [Yuan Chengwei, Zhong Huihuang, Qian Baoliang. Design of High-Power Microwave Curved Circular Waveguides [J]. High Power Laser and Particle Beams, 2009, 21(2): 255-259]. Based on this method, they designed a circular waveguide TE with a center frequency of 35 GHz. 01Mode-bending structure. Although the transmission efficiency of this bending structure reaches 99.9% at the center frequency, the bending structure has the limitations of large bending radius of the circular waveguide (the spacing between the input / output ports is 249 times the center wavelength) and narrow operating bandwidth (the relative operating bandwidth with transmission efficiency greater than 95% is only 14.4%). To improve the operating bandwidth and structural compactness, the team of Luoyong of the University of Electronic Science and Technology proposed a method of changing the profile of the circular waveguide during the bending process to expand the TE 01 mode bandwidth of the mode-bending structure. They eliminated the degeneracy of TE 01 and TM 11 modes on the period average by adding extra harmonics on the profile of the circular waveguide, thereby effectively reducing the parasitic modes generated during the waveguide bending process and realizing wideband and efficient TE 01 mode turning transmission. Based on this principle, the research team designed an elliptical waveguide bend [Xiaoyi Liao, Zewei Wu, Jiangxun Wang, et al.

IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory & Techniques, 2021, 69(7):3173-3183]’s ka-band circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Bends, respectively achieving 21.5%, 24.2% and 31.2% relative bandwidths (transmission efficiency greater than 95%), which significantly improves the bandwidth performance of TE 01 Mode Bends. However, in order to achieve a wider operating bandwidth, the transverse distance between the input / output ports of these bend structures needs to reach more than 40 times the operating wavelength, which is difficult to meet the compact application requirements of HPM transmission systems. SUMMARY
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to solve the technical bottlenecks of the existing circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Bends in terms of bandwidth and structural compactness, and to provide a compact broadband circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Bend with a relative operating bandwidth of more than 40%, a power capacity of more than GW level under vacuum conditions, and a spacing between input / output ports of less than 6 times the central wavelength.
[0005] The technical solution of the present application is: The compact broadband circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Bend of the present application is composed of two circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Dividers (i.e. a first circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Divider and a second circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Divider), two H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide arrays (i.e. a first H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array and a second H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array), and two H-plane rectangular bent waveguide arrays (i.e. a first H-plane rectangular bent waveguide array and a second H-plane rectangular bent waveguide array). The entire bend structure is made of metal material (preferably aluminum alloy). The circular waveguide port of the first circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Divider is defined as the input end of the present application, and the circular waveguide port of the second circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Divider is defined as the output end of the present application.
[0006] The first circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Divider is composed of an input circular waveguide, a first grooved circular waveguide, a first regular N-prism (N≥4, and N is an even number), a first frustum matching structure, a first rectangular waveguide circumferential array, and a first E-plane bent waveguide array. The first circular waveguide TE 01 Mode Divider is mirror symmetric along the AA' plane and the BB' plane. The upper end of the input circular waveguide is the input end of the present application. The input circular waveguide has a radius of r 0, and a length ofl 0. To facilitate the connection with other waveguide components in the HPM transmission system, the radius of the input circular waveguide r 0 is equal to the actual radius of the connected external circular waveguide. The upper end of the input circular waveguide is used to receive the external input circular waveguide TE 01 mode microwave, and the lower end is connected with the upper end of the first slotted circular waveguide.
[0007] The first slotted circular waveguide is formed by machining N structurally identical grooves on the sidewall of a circular waveguide with a radius of r 0. The grooves are uniformly arranged along the central axis OO' in a circle, and each groove is composed of a sector-shaped tapered groove and a sector-shaped columnar groove. Take the kth groove as an example, 1≤k≤N. The sector-shaped tapered groove is composed of an upper sector-shaped tapered groove and a lower sector-shaped columnar groove. The bottom of the sector-shaped tapered groove is a sector formed by two straight line segments with a length of e 0 and a circular arc with a radius of r 0 and a central angle of α . The height of the sector-shaped tapered groove is l 1. The cross-sectional shape of the sector-shaped columnar groove is the same as that of the bottom of the sector-shaped tapered groove, and the height is l 2. The function of the N structurally identical grooves is to achieve impedance matching between the input circular waveguide and the circular waveguide, and to ensure smooth transition of the microwave during transmission. The lower end of the first slotted circular waveguide is connected with the upper end of the first regular N-prism.
[0008] The cross-section of the first regular N-prism is a regular N-polygon with a side length of b 0, and the height is a 0, a 0> b 0. The N side faces of the first regular N-prism are connected with the N first rectangular waveguides of the first rectangular waveguide circumferential array. To achieve efficient transmission of microwave energy to the first rectangular waveguide circumferential array, a first conical frustum matching structure is coaxially embedded at the bottom of the first regular N-prism. After embedding the matching structure, the first regular N-prism is located above the first conical frustum matching structure. The first conical frustum matching structure is formed by cascading three layers of impedance matching structures from top to bottom: the upper layer is a first cylindrical impedance matching structure, the middle layer is a circular frustum impedance matching structure, and the lower layer is a second cylindrical impedance matching structure. The cross-sectional radius of the first cylindrical impedance matching structure is r 1, and the height is h1. The bottom cross-sectional radius of the circular frustum impedance matching structure is r 2, the top cross-sectional radius is equal to r 1, and the height is h 2. The cross-sectional radius of the second cylindrical impedance matching structure is r 3, and the height is h 3, r 3> r 2> r1. The lower end of the first cylindrical impedance matching structure is connected to the upper end of the circular truncated cone impedance matching structure, and the lower end of the circular truncated cone impedance matching structure is connected to the upper end of the second cylindrical impedance matching structure. Compared with the traditional cylindrical matching structure, the multi-layer cascaded matching structure can effectively broaden the working bandwidth of the first circular waveguide TE 01 mode power divider.
[0009] The first rectangular waveguide circumferential array is composed of N first rectangular waveguides with the same structure, which are uniformly arranged along the central axis OO' in a circumferential direction. The N first rectangular waveguides have the same size, and the width of the cross section is equal to a 0, and the length of the narrow side is equal to b 0, and the length is l 3. The inner side (close to the central axis OO') end face of each first rectangular waveguide in the first rectangular waveguide circumferential array is connected to one side of the first N-prism. The first E-face curved waveguide array is composed of N first E-face curved waveguides. The array is mirror symmetric along the AA ' plane and the BB ' plane. The inner side end face of each first E-face curved waveguide in the first E-face curved waveguide array is connected to the outer side (far from the central axis OO') end face of the N first rectangular waveguides of the first rectangular waveguide circumferential array, i.e. the inner side end face of the kth first E-face curved waveguide is connected to the outer side end face of the kth first rectangular waveguide. The bending radius of the N first E-face curved waveguides in the first E-face curved waveguide array is e r , and the bending angle of the kth first E-face curved waveguide in the N first E-face curved waveguides is calculated by formula (1) or formula (2): When n is even, : (1) When is odd: (2) After the N first E-face curved waveguides in the first E-face curved waveguide array are bent according to the bending angle calculated by formula (1) or formula (2), their outer side end faces will be parallel to the BB' plane, wherein the outer side end faces of the first E-face curved waveguides on the left side of the first E-face curved waveguide array are respectively connected to the input ports of the second rectangular waveguides of the first rectangular waveguide array of the first H-face U-shaped folded waveguide array; the outer side end faces of the first E-face curved waveguides on the right side of the first E-face curved waveguide array are respectively connected to the input ports of the tenth rectangular waveguides of the fourth rectangular waveguide array of the second H-face rectangular curved waveguide array.
[0010] The first circular waveguide TE 01 mode power divider has the function of dividing the TE 01Mode microwave high-efficiency conversion into N-path rectangular waveguide TE 10 Mode. Thus, the complex overmoded circular waveguide bending problem is converted into the N-path single-mode rectangular waveguide bending problem, which fundamentally eliminates the mode competition problem existing in the traditional overmoded circular waveguide bending process.
[0011] The first H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array is composed of a first rectangular waveguide array, a first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide array, and a second rectangular waveguide array. The first rectangular waveguide array contains n second rectangular waveguides arranged in parallel, and the cross-sectional dimensions of these second rectangular waveguides are the same (the length of the wide side is equal to a 0, and the length of the narrow side is equal to b 0), and the lengths are d 1, d 2,…, d k' ,…, d n The input ports of the n second rectangular waveguides of the first rectangular waveguide array are respectively connected to the output ports (outer end face) of the n first E-plane bent waveguides on the left side of the first E-plane bent waveguide array, and the output ports are respectively connected to the n first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguides of the first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide array.
[0012] The first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide array is composed of n first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguides arranged in parallel and having the same structure. Taking the k'th first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide as an example, it is composed of a fourth rectangular waveguide, a first corner-cut matching structure, a fifth rectangular waveguide, a second corner-cut matching structure, and a sixth rectangular waveguide. The k'th first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide is mirror-symmetric along the CC' plane. The right port of the fourth rectangular waveguide is the microwave input port of the k'th first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide, and the right port of the sixth rectangular waveguide is the microwave output port of the k'th first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide. The fourth rectangular waveguide and the sixth rectangular waveguide have the same structure, and the wide side length of their cross sections is equal to a 0, the narrow side length is equal to b 0, and the length is l 4. The fifth rectangular waveguide is used to connect the fourth rectangular waveguide and the sixth rectangular waveguide, and the wide side length of its cross section is equal to a 0, the narrow side length is equal to b 0, and the length is a 2 H 0+ H , where d is the distance between the fourth rectangular waveguide and the sixth rectangular waveguide. To improve the microwave transmission efficiency, two symmetrically designed corner impedance matching structures (i.e., the first corner impedance matching structure and the second corner impedance matching structure) are designed on the upper and lower ends of the fifth rectangular waveguide. Taking the second corner impedance matching structure as an example, the matching structure is also composed of three layers of impedance matching structures from top to bottom: the upper layer is a first corner impedance matching structure with a width of w1, length is h 4, thickness is equal to b 0 rectangular groove; the middle is a height of e 1, the bottom side length is e 2, thickness is equal to b 0 right-angled triangular groove; the lower layer is a width of w 2, length is h 5, thickness is equal to b 0 rectangular groove. This multi-layer cascaded impedance matching structure can effectively reduce the reflection loss at the rectangular waveguide connection, and significantly improve the transmission efficiency of the k'th first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide. The n input ports of the first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide array are respectively connected to the output ports of the n second rectangular waveguides of the first rectangular waveguide array, and the output ports are respectively connected to the n input ports of the third rectangular waveguides of the second rectangular waveguide array.
[0013] The second rectangular waveguide array also includes n third rectangular waveguides arranged in parallel, and the cross-sectional dimensions of these rectangular waveguides are the same (the wide side length is equal to a 0, and the narrow side length is equal to b 0), and the lengths are respectively q 1, q 2, …, q k' …, q n In terms of structure connection, the n input ports of the third rectangular waveguides of the second rectangular waveguide array are respectively connected to the output ports below the n first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguides of the first H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide array, and the output ports are respectively connected to the input ports of the n first rectangular bent waveguides of the first H-plane rectangular bent waveguide array.
[0014] The main function of the first H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array is to realize phase compensation and bandwidth expansion. By adjusting the lengths of the rectangular waveguides in the first rectangular waveguide array and the second rectangular waveguide array, the transmission path lengths of each rectangular waveguide path between the left side of the first circular waveguide TE 01 mode power divider and the lower side of the second circular waveguide TE 01 mode power divider are compensated, so that their transmission path lengths remain consistent, thereby significantly improving the operating bandwidth of the entire curved structure.
[0015] The first H-plane rectangular bent waveguide array is composed of a first rectangular bent waveguide array and a third rectangular waveguide array. The first rectangular bent waveguide array is composed of n first rectangular bent waveguides arranged in parallel and having the same structure. Taking the k'th first rectangular bent waveguide as an example, the first rectangular bent waveguide is composed of a seventh rectangular waveguide and an eighth rectangular waveguide that are arranged at an angle of β . The seventh rectangular waveguide and the eighth rectangular waveguide have the same structure, and the wide side length is equal toa 0, the length of the narrow side is equal to b 0, all lengths are l 5+ a 0, l 5 represents the distance between the seventh and ninth rectangular waveguides. To improve microwave transmission efficiency, a third chamfered impedance matching structure is designed at the bottom intersection of the seventh and eighth rectangular waveguides. This matching structure also consists of three cascaded impedance matching structures from top to bottom: the upper layer is a width of... w 4, length is h 7. Thickness equals b A rectangular slot with a length of 0; the middle one is the right side with a length of 0. e 4, the base side length is e 3, the included angle is β Thickness equals b The first layer is a triangular groove with a width of 0; the second layer is a triangular groove with a width of 0. w 3, length is h 6, thickness equals b A rectangular slot of 0. The input ports on the left side of the n first rectangular curved waveguides of the first rectangular curved waveguide array are respectively connected to the output ports of the n corresponding numbered third rectangular waveguides of the second rectangular waveguide array. The output ports above the n first rectangular curved waveguides of the first rectangular curved waveguide array are respectively connected to the input ports below the n ninth rectangular waveguides of the third rectangular waveguide array.

The output ports above the n ninth rectangular waveguides of the third rectangular waveguide array are respectively connected to the second circular waveguide TE. 01 The n second E-plane curved waveguide input ports below the second E-plane curved waveguide array of the mode power divider are connected.
[0017] The second H-plane rectangular bend waveguide array consists of a fourth rectangular waveguide array and a second rectangular bend waveguide array. The fourth rectangular waveguide array contains n parallel tenth rectangular waveguides, all of which have the same cross-sectional dimensions (the length of their widest side is equal to...). a 0, the length of the narrow side is equal to b 0), with lengths respectively s1, s 2,…, s k' ,…, s n In terms of structural connection, the input ports on the left side of the n tenth rectangular waveguides of the fourth rectangular waveguide array are respectively connected to the output ports of the n first E-plane bent waveguides on the right side of the first E-plane bent waveguide array, and the output ports on the right side of the n tenth rectangular waveguides of the fourth rectangular waveguide array are respectively connected to the input ports on the left side of the n second rectangular bent waveguides of the second rectangular bent waveguide array.
[0018] The second rectangular bent waveguide array has the same structural size as the first rectangular bent waveguide array and is also composed of n second rectangular bent waveguides with the same structure. The input ports on the left side of the n second rectangular bent waveguides of the second rectangular bent waveguide array are respectively connected to the output ports on the right side of the n tenth rectangular waveguides of the fourth rectangular waveguide array, and the output ports above them are respectively connected to the input ports below the n eleventh rectangular waveguides of the fifth rectangular waveguide array of the second H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array.
[0019] The main function of the first H-plane rectangular bent waveguide array and the second H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array is to realize the bending function of the circular waveguide TE 01 mode bending structure, and the included angle between the axis directions of the input circular waveguide and the output circular waveguide is equal to β , which can be set according to the spatial layout requirements in specific engineering applications. This customizable arbitrary angle bending feature can significantly improve the flexibility of the layout of the microwave transmission system.
[0020] Similar to the composition of the first H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array, the second H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array is composed of a fifth rectangular waveguide array, a second H-plane U-shaped bent waveguide array, and a sixth rectangular waveguide array. Among them, the fifth rectangular waveguide array contains n eleventh rectangular waveguides arranged in parallel. The cross-sectional dimensions of these rectangular waveguides are the same (the length of the wide side is equal to a 0, and the length of the narrow side is equal to b 0), and the lengths are respectively c 1, c 2,…, c k' ,…, c nThe second H-plane U-shaped waveguide array consists of n parallel, identically structured second H-plane U-shaped waveguides. The structural dimensions of these n second H-plane U-shaped waveguides are identical to the k'-th first H-plane U-shaped waveguide of the first H-plane U-shaped waveguide array. The input ports below the n tenth rectangular waveguides of the fifth rectangular waveguide array are connected to the output ports above the n second rectangular waveguides of the second rectangular waveguide array. The output ports above the output ports are connected to the lower left input ports of the n second H-plane U-shaped waveguides of the second H-plane U-shaped waveguide array. The lower left input ports of the n second H-plane U-shaped waveguides of the second H-plane U-shaped waveguide array are connected to the output ports above the n eleventh rectangular waveguides of the fifth rectangular waveguide array. The lower right output ports are connected to the input ports above the n twelfth rectangular waveguides of the sixth rectangular waveguide array.
[0021] The sixth rectangular waveguide array contains n parallel twelfth rectangular waveguides, all of which have the same cross-sectional dimensions (width equal to the length of the widest side). a 0, the length of the narrow side is equal to b 0), with lengths respectively g 1, g 2,…, g k' ,…, g n In terms of structural connections, the input ports above the n twelfth rectangular waveguides of the sixth rectangular waveguide array are respectively connected to the lower right output ports of the n second H-plane U-shaped bend waveguides of the second H-plane U-shaped bend waveguide array, and the output ports below are respectively connected to the second circular waveguide TE. 01 The n second E-plane curved waveguide input ports above the second E-plane curved waveguide array of the mode power divider are connected.
[0022] Similar to the first H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array, the second H-plane U-shaped folded waveguide array also serves to provide phase compensation and bandwidth extension.
