Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to microwave source devices in the field of high-power microwave technology, and in particular to an electrically tuned five-band frequency-hopping relativistic Cherenkov oscillator and tuning method. Background Technology

[0002] High-power microwaves (HPM) are generally defined as electromagnetic waves with frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 100 GHz and peak power exceeding 100 MW. An HPM source is a device in an HPM system that converts the energy of a high-current relativistic electron beam into microwave field energy; it is typically an electronic vacuum device. Since the first HPM source was developed in the 1970s, HPM source technology has rapidly developed due to its significant military and civilian applications.

[0003] Frequency tunability is a new research direction in HPM (High-Performance Microwave) technology. Depending on the target, it enhances the microwave's effect by tuning the microwave frequency online, which has significant application value in industry and defense. Currently, HPM source frequency adjustment is divided into mechanical tuning and electrical tuning: mechanical tuning refers to changing the electrodynamic structure of the HPM, thereby altering the device's electromagnetic boundary conditions to achieve microwave frequency adjustment; electrical tuning refers to changing the electrical parameters of the HPM system, such as voltage, current, and guiding magnetic field, to achieve microwave frequency adjustment. Meanwhile, the relativistic Cherenkov microwave generator (RBWO) is an HPM generator that generates microwaves based on Cherenkov radiation. It is one of the most promising frequency-tuning devices currently available. Its physical mechanism utilizes the interaction between a high-current relativistic electron beam and electromagnetic waves in a slow-wave structure to generate self-excited oscillations, forming coherent microwave radiation. This type of device has advantages such as high efficiency, high power, long pulses, and high repetition rate operation, attracting widespread attention. When the electromagnetic waves in the slow-wave structure are reflected waves, this type of relativistic Cherenkov microwave generator is called a relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO).

[0004] In the research of frequency-tuned HPM sources, the following research institutions at home and abroad have carried out relevant work on frequency modulation:

[0005] The paper with DOI 10.1109 / PPC.1997.679452 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1, such as...) Figure 1 As shown, the operating frequency is adjusted by simultaneously adjusting the length L2 of the drift section and the length L5 of the reflection section. The hollow slow wave structure and other components need to move back and forth along the axial direction, which requires a complex mechanical transmission structure. The adjustment method is complicated, which can easily damage the vacuum environment. The frequency modulation response is slow, and it can only achieve frequency adjustment of about 5% of the tuning bandwidth in one band of the X-band (corresponding to one working mode). It cannot achieve cross-band adjustment and the adjustment range is narrow.

[0006] The patent solution with patent number ZL 201610033561.0 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 2, such as...) Figure 2 As shown, frequency modulation across the X and Ku bands is achieved by adjusting the length L6 of the inner conductor. However, since the two bands share the same slow-wave structure, the only difference being the presence or absence of an inner conductor, the frequency dependence is significant, and the frequency interval between the two bands is small, making it impossible to achieve large-interval frequency tuning across bands. Therefore, this scheme is usually applied to adjacent bands with small frequency intervals.

[0007] The patent solution with patent number ZL 201811057701.3 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 3, such as...) Figure 3 As shown, microwave output across the X and Ka bands can be achieved by adjusting the lengths of the inner and outer cathodes. However, the number of bands crossed is small, and only dual-band microwave output can be achieved simultaneously. Furthermore, the cathode adjustment structure is complex and the frequency modulation response speed is slow.

[0008] The patent solution with patent number ZL 202010432988.4 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 4, such as...) Figure 4 As shown, by adopting a dual-band series slow wave structure and adjusting the guiding magnetic field strength, microwave output across the C and X bands can be achieved. The adjustment method is simple, but it can only achieve high-power microwave output across dual bands, and the frequency modulation range is relatively narrow.

[0009] The patent solution with patent number ZL 202210865761.8 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 5, such as...) Figure 5 (As shown) Microwave output across C, X, and Ku bands is achieved by simultaneously adjusting the magnetic field strength through electron beam transmission control. The adjustment method is simple, but the frequency modulation response speed is slow. However, it can only achieve frequency adjustment in three bands at present, and the number of cross-bands is relatively small.

[0010] An analysis of the current research reveals that while significant progress has been made in the study of frequency-tuned relativistic Cherenkov microwave generators, they typically only achieve dual-band or tri-band modulation, resulting in a limited number of bands spanned. As application scenarios become more complex, current dual-band or tri-band relativistic Cherenkov microwave generators are insufficient to meet practical application requirements, necessitating the research of a relativistic Cherenkov microwave generator that spans more bands. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: This invention provides a five-band frequency-hopping relativistic Cherenkov oscillator and tuning method based on electrical tuning, which overcomes the problem of the limited number of output microwave bands of conventional frequency modulation devices. Through the rational design of the electromagnetic structure and by changing the configuration and strength of the guiding magnetic field, frequency modulation across five bands (S, C, X, Ku, K) can be achieved (wide adjustment range and many bands).

[0018] The first solenoid magnetic field 614 and the second solenoid magnetic field 615 are sequentially sleeved on the outer wall of the anode outer cylinder 603. By energizing the different solenoid magnetic fields, the magnetic field configuration is changed, so that the electron beam is transmitted to the inner, middle and outer electromagnetic structures respectively.

[0019] This invention also provides a five-band electromagnetic tuning method based on the above-mentioned device. Different currents are applied to the magnetic fields of two sets of solenoids to change the configuration of the guiding magnetic field, allowing the electron beam to enter the inner, middle, and outer electromagnetic structures respectively. Within the inner electromagnetic structure, the electron beam interacts with the K-band slow-wave structure; within the middle electromagnetic structure, it interacts with the X-band or Ku-band slow-wave structure; and within the outer electromagnetic structure, it interacts with the S-band or C-band slow-wave structure. Then, based on the cyclotron resonance effect, the strength of the guiding magnetic field is changed so that the electron beam only interacts with the slow-wave structure of one band in the middle or outer electromagnetic structure, while the beam-wave interaction of the slow-wave structure of the other band is suppressed, achieving high-power microwave output at a single frequency point. In summary, frequency tuning across the S, C, X, Ku, and K bands can be achieved simply by changing the configuration and strength of the magnetic field. The specific steps are as follows:

[0020] S1 K-band microwave generation: The cathode explodes and emits light under high voltage. Simultaneously, the second solenoid magnetic field 615 is energized, generating a radially curved magnetic field. Guided by this magnetic field, the electron beam is transmitted from the cathode to the internal first drift tube 606b. After stabilization, it propagates axially into the K-band slow-wave structure region of the internal electromagnetic structure. In the slow-wave structure region, the electron beam and the hollow TM... 01 The mode generates beam-wave interaction, transferring energy to the microwave field, thereby generating K-band HPM;

[0021] S2 X and Ku band microwave generation: The cathode undergoes an explosive emission under high voltage. Both the first solenoid magnetic field 614 and the second solenoid magnetic field 615 are energized, generating magnetic fields of similar strength. The combination of these two produces a uniform axial magnetic field. Guided by this magnetic field, the electron beam propagates axially to the X and Ku band slow-wave structure region of the intermediate electromagnetic structure. In the slow-wave structure region, the electron beam and the coaxial TM... 01 The mode generates a beam-wave interaction, transferring energy to the microwave field to produce HPM. Due to the cyclotron resonance absorption effect, when the magnetic field generated by the first solenoid magnetic field 614 and the second solenoid magnetic field 615 is 2T-2.4T, the beam-wave interaction between the electron beam and the Ku-band slow-wave structure is suppressed, and Cherenkov radiation can only occur with the X-band slow-wave structure, thus producing X-band HPM. When the magnetic field generated by the first solenoid magnetic field 614 and the second solenoid magnetic field 615 is 1.3T-1.7T, the beam-wave interaction between the electron beam and the X-band slow-wave structure is suppressed, and Cherenkov radiation can only occur with the Ku-band slow-wave structure, thus producing Ku-band HPM.

[0022] S3 S and C band microwave generation: The cathode explodes under high voltage, generating a strong magnetic field when the first solenoid magnetic field 614 is energized, and a weak magnetic field when the second solenoid magnetic field 615 is energized. The difference in magnetic field strength causes the magnetic field lines to bend, thus generating a gradient matching magnetic field. Guided by this magnetic field, the electron beam is transmitted from the cathode to the external first drift tube 606. After stabilization, it propagates axially towards the S and C band slow-wave structure region of the external electromagnetic structure. In the slow-wave structure region, the electron beam and the coaxial TM... 01 The mode generates a beam-wave interaction, transferring energy to the microwave field to produce HPM. Due to the cyclotron resonance absorption effect, when the magnetic field generated by the first solenoid magnetic field 614 and the second solenoid magnetic field 615 is 0.6T-0.9T, the beam-wave interaction between the electron beam and the C-band slow wave structure is suppressed, and Cherenkov radiation can only occur with the S-band slow wave structure, thus producing S-band HPM. When the magnetic field generated by the first solenoid magnetic field 614 and the second solenoid magnetic field 615 is 0.3T-0.5T, the beam-wave interaction between the electron beam and the S-band slow wave structure is suppressed, and Cherenkov radiation can only occur with the C-band slow wave structure, thus producing C-band HPM.

[0024] 1. The present invention provides a five-band frequency-hopping relativistic Cherenkov microwave oscillator based on electrical tuning, which is based on changing the configuration and strength of the guiding magnetic field. When the magnetic field configuration is a gradient-matched magnetic field, the electron beam enters the external electromagnetic structure under the guidance of the magnetic field, resulting in beam-wave interaction. The magnetic field strength is adjusted so that the device operates in a coaxial TM structure in the S-band slow-wave under a strong magnetic field. 01 The π-mode of the mode (corresponding electric field distribution see...)

The electronically tuned five-band frequency-hopping relativistic Cherenkov microwave oscillator provided by this invention can achieve time-division output of high-power microwaves across the S, C, X, Ku, and K bands by changing the configuration and strength of the guiding magnetic field. Microwave output across five bands can be achieved within a single HPM device, increasing the frequency modulation range of a single frequency adjustment device and greatly expanding the application scenarios of the device.

[0026] 3. The electrically tuned, five-band frequency-hopping relativistic Cherenkov microwave oscillator provided by this invention employs an external reflecting cavity 607, a middle reflecting cavity 607a, and an internal reflecting cavity 607b to achieve isolation between the internal, middle, and external electromagnetic structures. The external reflecting cavity 607 can simultaneously reflect S-band and C-band microwaves, the middle reflecting cavity 607a can simultaneously reflect X-band and Ku-band microwaves, and the internal reflecting cavity 607b can reflect K-band microwaves, effectively avoiding mutual interference between the internal, middle, and external electromagnetic structures of the device.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0053] The accompanying drawings, which form part of this application, are used to provide a further understanding of the invention. The illustrative embodiments of the invention and their descriptions are used to explain the invention and do not constitute an improper limitation of the invention.

[0054] This invention comprises a cathode holder 601, a cathode 602, an anode outer cylinder 603, an intermediate conductor 604, an external transition cavity 605, an external first drift tube 606, an external resonant reflection cavity 607, an external second drift tube 608, an S-band slow wave structure 609, an external connecting section 610, a C-band slow wave structure 611, an external microwave output port 612, an external support rod 613, a first solenoid magnetic field 614, a second solenoid magnetic field 615, an internal conductor 604a, an intermediate first drift tube 606a, and an intermediate resonant reflection cavity 607. The structure includes a resonant reflection cavity 607a, a second intermediate drift tube 608a, an X-band slow wave structure 609a, a middle connecting section 610a, a Ku-band slow wave structure 611a, a middle microwave output port 612a, a middle support rod 613a, an internal transition cavity 605b, an internal first drift tube 606b, an internal resonant reflection cavity 607b, an internal second drift tube 608b, a K-band slow wave structure 609b, an internal collecting electrode 610b, and an internal microwave output port 612b; the entire structure is rotationally symmetrical about the central axis.

[0055] The cathode holder 601, anode outer cylinder 603, intermediate conductor 604, and inner conductor 604a are typically made of non-magnetic stainless steel. The S-band slow wave structure 609, C-band slow wave structure 611, external connecting section 610, X-band slow wave structure 609a, intermediate connecting section 610a, Ku-band slow wave structure 611a, and K-band slow wave structure 609b are typically made of non-magnetic stainless steel, oxygen-free copper, or titanium. The cathode 602 can be made of high-hardness graphite or heat-resistant glass cloth-epoxy resin copper-clad foil (FR-5). The first solenoid magnetic field 614 and the second solenoid magnetic field 615 are made of enameled copper wire or glass fiber-clad copper wire. The inner conductor of the pulse power drive source is externally connected to the left end of the cathode holder 601, and the outer conductor of the pulse power drive source is externally connected to the left end of the anode outer cylinder 603.

[0056] During operation, energizing the second solenoid magnetic field 615 generates a radially curved magnetic field. Guided by this magnetic field, the electron beam is transmitted from the large-radius cathode to the small-radius drift tube. After stabilization, it propagates axially into the K-band slow-wave structure region of the internal electromagnetic structure. In the slow-wave structure region, the electron beam and the hollow TM01 mode interact, transferring energy to the microwave field, thereby generating the K-band HPM. Energizing the first solenoid magnetic field 614 and the second solenoid magnetic field 615 generates magnetic fields of similar strength. The combination of the two produces an axially uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field guides the electron beam axially to the X and Ku band slow-wave structure regions of the intermediate electromagnetic structure. In the slow-wave structure region, the electron beam interacts with the coaxial TM01 mode, transferring energy to the microwave field and generating HPM. Due to the cyclotron resonance absorption effect, when the magnetic field is 2.2T, the beam-wave interaction between the electron beam and the Ku band slow-wave structure is suppressed, and it can only interact with the X band slow-wave structure to generate Cherenkov radiation, thus generating X band HPM. Similarly, reducing the magnetic field strength in the uniform region to 1.5T... The beam-wave interaction between the sub-beam and the X-band slow-wave structure is suppressed, allowing Cherenkov radiation only to occur with the Ku-band slow-wave structure, thus generating Ku-band HPM. Energizing the first solenoid magnetic field 614 and the second solenoid magnetic field 615 generates magnetic fields with significantly different strengths. This difference in strength causes the magnetic field lines to bend, creating a gradient-matched magnetic field. Guided by this field, the electron beam is transmitted from the small-radius cathode to the large-radius drift tube, and after stabilization, it propagates axially towards the S and C-band slow-wave structure regions of the external electromagnetic structure. Within the slow-wave structure region… In the region, the electron beam and the coaxial TM01 mode interact with each other, transferring energy to the microwave field and generating HPM. Due to the cyclotron resonance absorption effect, when the magnetic field is 0.7T, the beam-wave interaction between the electron beam and the C-band slow-wave structure is suppressed, and Cherenkov radiation can only occur with the S-band slow-wave structure, thus generating S-band HPM. Similarly, when the magnetic field strength in the uniform region is reduced to 0.4T, the beam-wave interaction between the electron beam and the S-band slow-wave structure is suppressed, and Cherenkov radiation can only occur with the C-band slow-wave structure, thus generating C-band HPM.

[0057] This scheme achieves cross-S (center frequency of 2.5 GHz, corresponding microwave wavelength λ) S =12.00cm), C (center frequency is 4.5GHz, corresponding to microwave wavelength λ) C =6.67cm), X (center frequency is 9.8GHz, corresponding to microwave wavelength λ) X =3.06cm), Ku (center frequency is 13.56GHz, corresponding to microwave wavelength λ) Ku =2.21cm), K (center frequency is 20.0GHz, corresponding to microwave wavelength λ) K =1.50cm) Frequency-adjustable relativistic Cherenkov microwave generator (corresponding dimensions are: R1=40mm, R2=100mm, R3=48mm, R4=74mm, R5=60mm, R6=98.5mm, R7=86.5mm, R8=74mm, R9=78mm, R 10 =80mm, R 11 =74mm, R 12 =79mm, L1=160mm, L2=60mm, L3=32mm, L4=50mm, L5=14mm, L6=14mm, L7=70mm, L8=9mm, L 9=9mm; R'3=34mm, R'4=46mm, R′5=58mm, R′6=50mm, R′7=46mm, R′8=48mm, R′9=49mm, R′ 10 =46mm, R′ 11 =50mm, L′1=125mm, L′2=13mm, L′3=15mm, L′4=3mm, L′5=3mm, L′6=31mm, L′7=3mm, L′8=2mm; ).

[0058] In particle simulations, when the external electromagnetic structure is active, with a diode voltage of 670kV and a current of 7.5kA, adjusting the guiding magnetic field to 0.7T results in an S-band microwave power output of 1.65GW and a beam-wave efficiency of 32.8%; adjusting the guiding magnetic field to 0.4T results in a C-band microwave power output of 1.5GW and a beam-wave efficiency of 29.8%. When the intermediate electromagnetic structure is active, with a diode voltage of 670kV and a current of 7.5kA, adjusting the guiding magnetic field to 2.2T results in an X-band microwave power output of 1.75GW and a beam-wave efficiency of 34.8%; adjusting the guiding magnetic field to 1.5T results in a Ku-band microwave power output of 1.6GW and a beam-wave efficiency of 31.8%. When the internal electromagnetic structure is active, with a diode voltage of 420kV and a current of 4.9kA, adjusting the guiding magnetic field to 1.0T results in a K-band microwave power output of 0.65GW and a beam-wave efficiency of 31.6%. As can be seen from the above results, the present invention can overcome the problem of the limited number of bands that conventional frequency-tuned relativistic Cherenkov microwave generators can cross. By simply changing the configuration and strength of the external guiding magnetic field, microwave output across five bands (S, C, X, Ku, and K) can be achieved in a single device, which has important reference value for the design of multi-band frequency modulation devices.

The first solenoid magnetic field (614) is energized to generate a strong magnetic field, and the second solenoid magnetic field (615) is energized to generate a weak magnetic field. The difference in magnetic field strength causes the magnetic field lines to bend, thereby generating a gradient matching magnetic field. Under the guidance of this magnetic field, the electron beam is transmitted from the cathode to the external first drift tube (606). After stabilization, it is transmitted axially to the S and C band slow wave structure region of the external electromagnetic structure. In the slow wave structure region, the electron beam and the coaxial TM 01 The mode generates a beam-wave interaction, transferring energy to the microwave field to produce HPM. Due to the cyclotron resonance absorption effect, when the magnetic field generated by the first solenoid magnetic field (614) and the second solenoid magnetic field (615) is 0.6T-0.9T, the beam-wave interaction between the electron beam and the C-band slow wave structure is suppressed, and Cherenkov radiation can only occur with the S-band slow wave structure, thus producing S-band HPM. When the magnetic field generated by the first solenoid magnetic field (614) and the second solenoid magnetic field (615) is 0.3T-0.5T, the beam-wave interaction between the electron beam and the S-band slow wave structure is suppressed, and Cherenkov radiation can only occur with the C-band slow wave structure, thus producing C-band HPM.
