Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cathode assembly, in particular to a satellite communication high-frequency electromagnetic cathode assembly processing technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] Vacuum electronic devices include klystron, traveling wave tube, backward wave tube, etc., which adopt a hot cathode to emit an electron beam, and the electron beam is subjected to velocity modulation in a resonant cavity or a slow wave structure. In the transmission process of the velocity-modulated electron beam, the electrons with high speed catch up with the electrons with low speed to form a group electron beam, and the group electron beam gives energy to electromagnetic waves, thereby forming amplified or oscillated electromagnetic wave output. The vacuum electronic device has the advantages of high output power, high working frequency, radiation resistance and long service life, and thus has extremely wide application in satellite communication.

[0003] After decades of development, although the theory of conventional vacuum electronic devices and related technologies has been basically mature, modern high-tech microwave devices continue to have new development needs for the power, frequency, bandwidth and other working characteristics of microwave signals. These needs mainly reflect the requirements of higher frequency, greater power, wider bandwidth, higher efficiency and new working characteristics, thereby posing new challenges and development opportunities for the development of microwave vacuum electronic devices and related technologies. After being launched into space, the satellite is in a high-speed moving state, so if only one set of vacuum electronic devices is arranged on the satellite to generate an electromagnetic field for communication, when this set of vacuum electronic devices is damaged, the electromagnetic field will disappear, resulting in a lost state of the satellite. Therefore, in order to avoid the lost state of the satellite, the existing satellite usually has multiple sets of vacuum electronic devices, so that the satellite can generate multiple electromagnetic fields for communication. In this arrangement, even if any one or several sets of vacuum electronic devices are damaged, the normal vacuum electronic devices on the satellite can still emit electromagnetic fields for communication to prevent the satellite from being lost. However, this method still has certain limitations and can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The most direct, simple and effective method is to improve the performance and service life of the vacuum electronic device to ensure the communication performance and service life of the satellite. The cathode, which is responsible for electron emission, is the most core part of the vacuum electronic device, and its performance will directly affect the output performance and service life of the microwave source, and further affect the performance and service life of the satellite and high-power microwave device.

[0004] As Figure 5As shown, the existing hot cathode usually comprises an insulating seat I1', two electrodes I2' mounted on the insulating seat I1', a first cathode filament 4' welded on the two electrodes I2' by brazing filler metal 3', in the prior art, the electrodes I2' usually have no structure for connecting the brazing filler metal 3', the brazing filler metal 3' is usually directly melted and attached on the surface of the electrodes I2', and the adhesion between the brazing filler metal 3' and the electrodes I2' is not good; and since the brazing filler metal 3' and the welding piece are heated to the melting temperature of the brazing filler metal 3' at the same time after the brazing filler metal 3' with a lower melting point than the welding piece is heated, the welding method of filling the gap of the solid workpiece with the liquid brazing filler metal 3' to connect the metals, the melting point of the brazing filler metal 3' is usually much lower than the melting points of the electrodes I2' and the first cathode filament 4', the brazing filler metal 3', the electrodes I2' and the first cathode filament 4' cannot be welded, and the connection stability is insufficient, and when the hot cathode is powered to emit high temperature, the first cathode filament 4' is prone to falling off, thereby affecting the communication signal of the satellite, causing weak or no signal, and high risk of losing control of the ground control center.
