Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a microwave source device in the field of high power microwave technology, in particular to a Cerenkov oscillator using a composite fine-tuning magnetic field to improve extraction efficiency, and belongs to the field of high power microwave technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] High power microwave generally refers to electromagnetic waves with a peak power greater than 100 MW and a frequency of 1 GHz-300 GHz, and high power microwave technology is a new research field emerging with the development of pulsed power technology, plasma physics and electric vacuum technology. It has a bright application prospect in plasma heating, high power radar, particle radio frequency acceleration and future space energy utilization.

[0003] A high power microwave source is a core device of a high power microwave system, and its operation is based on coherent radiation of an electron beam. The coherent radiation mechanism of the electron beam is divided into three categories: Cerenkov radiation, transition radiation and bremsstrahlung. The high power microwave source based on the Cerenkov radiation mechanism mainly includes a relativistic Cerenkov oscillator and a relativistic Cerenkov amplifier. The high power microwave source based on the transition radiation mechanism mainly includes a relativistic klystron oscillator and a relativistic klystron amplifier. The high power microwave source based on the bremsstrahlung mechanism mainly includes a free electron laser and a virtual cathode.

[0004] The relativistic Cerenkov oscillator is one of the most potential high power microwave source devices at present. It utilizes the interaction between a relativistic electron beam and an electromagnetic wave mode (structure wave) in a slow wave structure to produce self-oscillation and amplification, form coherent microwave radiation, and has the characteristics of high power, high efficiency and suitability for repeated frequency operation.

[0005] Generally speaking, for a relativistic Cerenkov oscillator working in TM01 mode, the closer to the outer conductor, the stronger the transverse electric field, so the annular electron beam is generally closer to the outer conductor in the design of the device. However, since the outer conductor has a potential of 0, the electron beam has a negative voltage of tens to hundreds of kilovolts, and if the distance between the electron beam and the outer conductor is too close, the electron beam will break through the constraint of the guiding magnetic field under the action of the strong potential difference, hit the outer conductor earlier than expected, and reduce the efficiency.

[0006] According to research, the extraction structure plays a great role in improving the electromagnetic wave extraction efficiency of the Cerenkov oscillator. The extraction structure is generally located behind the slow wave structure, and utilizes the principle of resonant cavity to form a standing wave of a specific frequency in the cavity. When the clustered electron beam passes through, the strong standing wave in the cavity converts the kinetic energy of the electron beam into the energy of the electromagnetic wave. However, as described in the previous paragraph, the distance between the electron beam and the extraction cavity is greatly restricted, which affects the microwave extraction efficiency. SUMMARY

[0007] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a Cherenkov oscillator that improves extraction efficiency using a composite fine-tuning magnetic field. This invention employs a magnetic field model combining composite anisotropic solenoid magnetic fields and optimizes its design, altering the magnetic field line configuration and thus the electron beam trajectory. This design ensures the distance between the electron beam and the external cavity while reducing this distance by using a local magnetic field to change the electron beam configuration, thereby improving microwave extraction efficiency. This provides a new approach to improving the microwave output efficiency of Cherenkov oscillators, and the structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0008] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: This invention is a Cherenkov oscillator using a composite fine-tuning magnetic field, characterized in that: the Cherenkov oscillator using a composite fine-tuning magnetic field includes an oscillator cavity and a composite fine-tuning magnetic field surrounding the outside of the oscillator cavity.

[0013] Further, the slow wave structure is composed of 6 trapezoidal slow wave vanes, each two trapezoidal slow wave vanes are connected by a circular ring with a length L7 and an inner radius R3, among the 6 trapezoidal slow wave vanes, the first slow wave vane is a right-angled trapezoid with an upper base length L5, an oblique side width L6, and an outer radius R5; the second, third, and fifth slow wave vanes are isosceles trapezoids with an upper base length L5 and an oblique side width L6, and the outer radii R6, R7, and R9, respectively, satisfying R9>R7>R6; the fourth trapezoidal slow wave vane has an upper base length L8, satisfying L8>L5, an oblique side width L6, and an outer radius R8, satisfying R8>R9; the sixth slow wave vane is also a right-angled trapezoid with an upper base length L5, an oblique side width L6, and an outer radius R 10 , satisfying R8>R 10 >R9, and L5 and L7 are equal to 0.1 times the working wavelength λ.

[0014] Further, the slow wave structure is followed by a drift section with an inner radius R3 and a length L9, L9 is equal to 0.8-1 times the working wavelength λ; the drift section is followed by the extraction cavity, the extraction cavity is disc-shaped with an outer radius R 11 , a length L 10 , satisfying R 11 >R8, and a depth equal to the difference between the outer radius R 11 of the extraction cavity and the inner radius R3 of the drift section.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present application can achieve the following technical effects:

[0019] The present application adopts a composite fine-tuning magnetic field, and the main effects are as follows:

[0020] 1) Although the solenoid flat wires of all magnetic field parts are actually one wire, when all magnetic field parts are energized, the negative solenoid fine-tuning magnetic field 110 can generate a reverse magnetic field due to the reverse winding, and at this time, due to the fine-tuning shaping effect of the magnetic lines of force of the positive solenoid fine-tuning magnetic field A 109 and the positive solenoid fine-tuning magnetic field B 111 on the front and rear sides of the negative solenoid fine-tuning magnetic field 110, the magnetic lines of force will produce outward bending at this position. After adopting the composite fine-tuning magnetic field, the magnetic field, the magnetic line of force and the relative relationship profile of the device designed by SuperFish software are shown in Figure 3 , wherein the thin gray line in the figure is the magnetic line of force cluster after adopting the magnetic field, and the thick gray line is the actual running track of the electron beam in the PIC (particle simulation simulation) simulation. It can be seen that the magnetic line of force track produces outward bending at the extraction cavity, and the radius of the electron beam running according to the magnetic line of force track increases at the extraction cavity, and after passing through the extraction cavity, the radius decreases and finally hits the output waveguide. The advantage of this design is that the distance between the electron beam and the outer conductor of the slow wave structure and other parts remains unchanged, ensuring that the electron beam passes through the position with the strongest transverse electric field and does not contact the outer conductor in advance, improving the microwave extraction efficiency, and no additional materials are required except copper wires for solenoid magnetic field.

[0021] 2) The single solenoid magnetic field and the composite fine-tuning magnetic field are adopted, and the comparison chart of the Cherenkov oscillator model containing the electron beam in the PIC software is shown in Figure 4 . It can be seen that the electron beam part of the Cherenkov oscillator using the composite fine-tuning magnetic field extends into the extraction cavity Figure 5 , and the electron beam of the Cherenkov oscillator using the single solenoid magnetic field is far away from the extraction cavity Figure 5The closer the extraction cavity is to the electron beam, the higher the microwave extraction efficiency is, because a strong standing wave field is generated at the extraction cavity. Figure 5 The microwave output power of the Cherenkov oscillator using single solenoid magnetic field is 3.15 GW after saturation. The microwave output power of the Cherenkov oscillator using composite fine-tuning magnetic field is 3.86 GW after saturation. In the figure, it can be obviously observed that the microwave output power is greatly improved at the cost of 5 ns delay of saturation time after the Cherenkov oscillator using composite fine-tuning magnetic field is used, which proves that the use of composite fine-tuning magnetic field to change the electron beam shape is helpful to improve the output efficiency of the device.

[0054] This embodiment realizes a C-band Cherenkov oscillator with a center frequency of 4.26 GHz (corresponding to a microwave wavelength λ = 7 cm). The corresponding size design is: R1 = 27 mm, R2 = 80 mm, R3 = 50 mm, R4 = 61 mm, R5 = 54 mm, R6 = 54 mm, R7 = 56 mm, R8 = 64 mm, R9 = 57 mm, R 10 = 58 mm, R 11 = 73 mm, R m1 = 86 mm, R m2 = 118 mm, R m3 = 56 mm, R m4 = 74 mm, R m5 = 102 mm; L1 = 21 mm, L2 = 44 mm, L3 = 31 mm, L4 = 6 mm, L5 = 6 mm, L6 = 8 mm, L7 = 6 mm, L8 = 8 mm, L9 = 56 mm, L 10 = 13 mm, L m1 = 48 mm, L m2 = 450 mm, L m3 = 10 mm, L m4 = 18 mm).
