Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microwave and millimeter-wave technology, and relates to the field of vacuum electronics technology. Specifically, it relates to a general gyroscopic device with a synergistic optimization design of coil magnet and electron gun. Background Technology

[0002] In the millimeter-wave band, cyclotron devices exhibit a significant high-power advantage. A focusing magnet provides a guiding magnetic field for electron motion, ensuring normal device operation. Specifically, the rising region of the magnetic field controls electron beam shaping, the uniform magnetic field ensures efficient synchronous energy exchange between electrons and electromagnetic waves, and the falling region is used for electron despinning and collection. The magnetron-controlled injection electron gun (hereinafter referred to as the electron gun) determines the quality of the electron beam source; generating high-quality electrons with a specific velocity ratio and low-velocity dispersion is a prerequisite for efficient beam-wave interaction energy exchange in cyclotron devices.

[0003] In gyropod design, the traditional approach involves designing a corresponding coil assembly based on the specific magnetic field distribution provided by the device. Alternatively, a matching device structure can be designed using a fixed magnetic field distribution and performance specifications. This approach, however, cannot alter the magnetic field distribution during optimization, making it difficult to achieve optimal design. Furthermore, as gyropods evolve towards higher frequencies and higher power, the constraints on electron gun design increase dramatically. To enhance the design freedom of gyropod electron guns and meet the high-performance design requirements under stringent constraints, a rapid and accurate collaborative optimization design method for gyropod electron guns and coil magnets is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a collaborative design method for the coil magnet and electron gun of a gyropod. It establishes a mapping relationship between electron gun performance and the electron gun electrode shape and the configuration parameters of the coil magnet solenoid. By introducing a global optimization algorithm, the optimal design of electron gun performance under strong constraints can be achieved. This method develops design modules for the gyropod coil magnet and electron gun. The coil magnet design module establishes a mapping relationship between the magnetic field distribution and the coil configuration parameters, while the electron gun design module establishes a mapping relationship between the electron gun performance parameters and the electron gun structural parameters under a given magnetic field distribution. This effectively ensures a unified data interface and the establishment of a collaborative optimization model.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for co-optimization design of coil magnets and electron guns in gyroscopic devices includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. Based on the theory of off-axis magnetic fields of solenoids, establish the mapping relationship between the configuration parameters of multi-coil circuits and the three-dimensional magnetic field distribution. Specifically:

[0008] The longitudinal magnetic field g(z) at any position z on the central axis of the solenoid coil (r=0) is expressed as:

[0009]

[0010] In the formula R in and R out Let be the innermost and outermost radii of the solenoid coil, respectively; t1 = z - z0 + L / 2 and t2 = z - z0 - L / 2 are intermediate variables; L and z0 are the length and axial center position of the solenoid, respectively; μ0 is the permeability of free space; and Js = I / d. r d z Let d be the current density, I be the conductor current, and d be the current density. r and d z These represent the radial width and axial width of the conductor, respectively. The current density Js is related to the radial coil turns N. R axial coil turns N z related.

[0011] The radial magnetic field b at the off-axis position (r≠0) is derived by power series expansion. r (r,z) and longitudinal magnetic field b z The (r,z) components are:

[0012]

[0013]

[0014] In the formula, r and z are the radial position and longitudinal position, respectively, and k is an integer not less than zero.

[0015] The magnetic field distribution of a multi-coil solenoid is characterized as a linear superposition of the magnetic field distributions of each individual coil, and its radial magnetic field B r (r,z) and longitudinal magnetic field B z The distribution of (r,z) can be represented as:

[0016]

[0017]

[0018] Where the subscript i represents the coil number. Equations (4) and (5) establish the magnetic field distribution B of the multi-coil system. r (r,z), B z (r,z) and the configuration parameters of each coil (R in ,R out N R N z The mapping relationship between (I, z0).

[0019] S2. Given the topology of the electron gun, establish the potential distribution in the two-dimensional plane of the electron gun; then solve the electron beam trajectory under the given magnetic field distribution; finally, establish the mapping relationship between the electron gun electrode structure parameters and the electron beam performance parameters.

[0020] Given the topology of the electron gun, the three-dimensional problem of solving the electric field is transformed into a two-dimensional problem by utilizing the axisymmetry of the electron gun. The potential distribution in the two-dimensional plane is obtained by numerically solving the Poisson equation (6):

[0021]

[0022] In equation (6), u(r,z) is the two-dimensional potential distribution, ρ is the space charge, and ε is the dielectric constant of space.

[0023] Furthermore, the process of solving for the electron beam trajectory given the potential distribution u(r,z) includes the following steps:

[0024] Magnetic field components B in the three directions of S21, x, y, and z x B y B z Simultaneously acting on the electron's directional motion, due to the magnetic force, in the time infinitesimal element dt, the electron velocity vector changes from v n Change to v n+1 ,Right now:

[0025] v n+1 =v n H (7)

[0026] H = H x H y H z (8)

[0027] In the formula:

[0028]

[0029]

[0030]

[0031] Among them, the magnetic field components B in the x, y, and z directions x B y B z The contribution to the electron's circular motion corresponds to the angular frequency ω in each direction. x ω y ω z ,Right now:

[0032]

[0033] Wherein, the electron charge e = 1.6 × 10 -19 C, electron rest mass m0 = 9.1 × 10 -31 kg, where γ is the relativistic factor.

[0034] S22. The change in electron momentum ΔP caused by the electric field E within the infinitesimal time dt. E for:

[0035] ΔP E =eE·dt (13)

[0036] S23. In a combined field where both electric and magnetic fields exist, the total change in momentum ΔP of an electron is:

[0037] ΔP=ΔP E +ΔP B =eE·dt+m0γv n H-m0γv n (14)

[0038] Where, ΔP B This represents the change in electron momentum caused by the magnetic field. Using the relationship P... n =m0γv n and ΔP=P n+1 -P n , where P n P n+1 Let the total momentum at time n and time n+1 be respectively, and we can finally obtain:

[0039] P n+1 =eE·dt+m0γv n H (15)

[0040] Equation (15) represents the momentum evolution law of electrons within a time element dt in a composite field where electric and magnetic fields coexist.

[0041] S23. Under relativistic effects, the relationship between the electron's velocity vector and momentum is:

[0042]

[0043] Among them, P n+1 For vector P n+1 The amplitude, and the displacement Δs within the electronic time element dt are:

[0044]

[0045] Numerical solutions to equations (15)-(17) yield the electron trajectory distribution, allowing for the evaluation of the electron gun's performance parameters: velocity ratio α and transverse velocity dispersion Δβ. t :

[0046]

[0047]

[0048] In the formula, j represents the electronic serial number, and N e v represents the total number of electrons. r and v z These are the radial and longitudinal velocity components of the electron, respectively. The mathematical meaning of the velocity ratio calculation is the mean of the velocity ratio (also the pitch ratio) of all electrons, while the mathematical meaning of the velocity discreteness is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean of the transverse velocity of all electrons.

[0049] S3, combining the two mapping relationships in S1 and S2, establish the performance parameters (α, Δβ) of the magnetron injection electron gun. t ) and electron gun electrode shape and solenoid configuration parameters (R in ,R out N R The mapping relationship between Nz, I, z0) is established; the fitness function f(α, Δβ) for evaluating the quality of the electron beam is established. t The performance of the electron gun is optimized by introducing a global optimization algorithm.

[0050] Furthermore, the fitness function f(α,Δβ) t Construct it as follows:

[0051]

[0052] Where, α goal χ is the value of the target velocity ratio, and χ is the convergence weighting factor; the design reaches its optimum when the fitness function is minimized.

[0053] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0054] (1) High degree of design freedom, enabling high-performance integrated design. By adopting a collaborative optimization method, an adjustable magnetic field distribution is introduced into the electron gun design, which improves the degree of design freedom and meets the requirements of high-performance integrated design under strong constraints, especially under strong constraints such as high frequency, small size, limited power capacity, and size and processing accuracy constraints.

[0055] (2) High computational speed, high accuracy, and good numerical computation stability. Utilizing the axisymmetry of the electron gun and solenoid coil, the finite difference method is used to transform the solution of the electric field in three-dimensional space into the solution of the electric field in a two-dimensional plane. The potential is iteratively solved using mesh refinement and potential inheritance, achieving rapid convergence iteration of potential calculation under high-density mesh conditions. Unlike traditional methods that directly solve the Lorentz equation numerically to obtain the electron trajectory, this invention proposes an electron gun theory and design method based on numerical computation. This theory is directly derived in matrix form, fully utilizing the powerful matrix processing and computational capabilities of MATLAB. Simultaneously, the electron trajectory solution employs a simplified momentum and velocity vector infinitesimal evolution iteration method, significantly reducing sensitivity to time steps, greatly improving numerical stability, and reducing computation time.

[0056] (3) Versatility: The parameters of the magnetic field coil are arbitrary, the parameters of the electron gun structure are arbitrary, the operating frequency band is arbitrary, and the electron gun can be designed and optimized conveniently and quickly. Attached Figure Description

[0085] In the G-band electron gun, as described in S1, based on the off-axis magnetic field theory of solenoids, the longitudinal magnetic field g(z) is calculated sequentially. The magnetic field of the multi-coil solenoid is calculated by linear superposition of the magnetic field distributions of each single coil, establishing the relationship between the magnetic field and the configuration parameters (R) of each coil. in ,R out N R N z The mapping relationship between (I, z0). Taking a magnet system consisting of three coils as an example, one of the coils is a reverse compensation coil, used to adjust the magnetic compression ratio during actual testing. The coil current I = 62A, and the other parameters are used in the optimization design.

[0086] The magnetic field size in this design example is 8T. Based on the axisymmetry of the electron gun structure, a two-dimensional mesh is created. Considering the mesh division within the cross-section, the surface area of ​​the cathode electron emitting surface is 18.8 mm². 2 As described in S21, S22 and S23, the angular frequency of the electron's circular motion, the change in the electron's momentum, the change in the electron's total momentum, and the displacement Δs within the electron's time element are determined sequentially.

Based on MATLAB, the two-dimensional space is meshed, and the potential distribution of each mesh in the electron gun region is calculated using the finite difference method. After obtaining the space charge distribution, the potential distribution generated by the space charge distribution can be calculated. The electron beam trajectory is directly solved iteratively based on the infinitesimal evolution matrix of velocity and displacement vectors. The program-calculated trajectory matches well with the CST simulation trajectory, and its convergence speed is fast and its accuracy is high.

[0096]

[0097] By adjusting the position of the negative coil, the velocity ratio was corrected. An adjustable magnetic field distribution was introduced into the electron gun design, increasing the design freedom and meeting the requirements of highly constrained, high-performance integrated design, especially under conditions of high frequency, small size, limited power capacity, and constraints on size and manufacturing accuracy, without affecting the discrete velocity. The final optimization result is very close to the initial design objective.
