Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vacuum electronics, and in particular to a method and system for simulating nonlinear injection-wave interaction of an impedance-wall amplifier. Background Art

[0002] The impedance wall amplifier is a microwave vacuum electronic device used for signal power amplification. It has a gain comparable to that of a traveling wave tube and a wider bandwidth. Its working mechanism is different from that of traditional microwave tubes such as traveling wave tubes. The line field has no effective interaction with the electron beam. The further clustering of the electron beam depends on the interaction between the electron beam and the space charge field excited by the surface plasma. Therefore, although the line field loss of traditional vacuum electronic devices in the millimeter wave and terahertz bands increases, resulting in a decrease in output power, the gain of the impedance wall amplifier can be unaffected. The impedance wall amplifier has other advantages. The signal input is effectively isolated from the output by a lossy circuit impedance wall, so that parasitic oscillations due to internal feedback are essentially absent.

[0003] Due to the inherent defects of the impedance wall structure itself in exciting space charge waves, and the rapid attenuation of electromagnetic signals after entering the impedance wall, in order to stimulate the high-frequency oscillation of the electron beam, other circuits are required to pre-modulate the electron beam and extract the signal in the same way after the electron beam passes through the impedance wall. The schematic diagram of the impedance wall amplifier is shown in the figure. Figure 1 When the input and output systems at both ends are coupled cavities, it is an impedance wall klystron.

[0004] Currently, there is only a small signal theory for impedance wall amplifiers. This theory calculates the growth rate of space charge waves based on wall admittance. The interaction between the space charge field and the electron beam and how to further cluster the electron beam are not discussed, and the theory cannot be used to obtain the final electromagnetic wave output power. It is also difficult to directly use electromagnetic simulation software to simulate impedance wall amplifiers. This is because the thickness of the semiconductor film as an impedance wall is usually in the micron range, which is much smaller than the device size. If there are enough grids in the semiconductor film, the grids of the entire device will be too many for the computer to calculate. Summary of the invention

[0051] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with examples and drawings. The illustrative implementation scheme of the present application and its description are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] This embodiment proposes a method for simulating nonlinear injection-wave interaction of an impedance wall amplifier.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the method proposed in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 1: Solve the energy exchange between the electron beam and the line field and the electron beam and the space charge field to obtain the line field power and amplitude. The line field power is equal to the transmitted power plus the power change, and the power change is determined by the energy exchange between the electron beam and the line field and the energy exchange between the electron beam and the space charge field.

[0056] Specifically, the calculation process of the line field power and amplitude in step 1 is as follows:

[0057] According to the grid division, the power of the line field at the i-th step is equal to the power at the i-1th step plus the power change at the i-1th step. Among them, the energy change generated by the interaction between the electron beam and the line field is: A total refers to the total field amplitude of the synthesis, is the synthesized phase, q Δt is the charge of the macroparticle, and Δz is the space step. At the same time, during the interaction between the electron beam and the space charge field, electromagnetic wave energy will be generated and transferred to the next step. The energy change is: Among them, A sp is the amplitude of the space charge field. The total energy change can be obtained by adding the two parts of energy change, and then integrated over a period (that is, directly adding up the energies of all macroparticles in a period) and divided by the period to obtain the power change.

[0058] The magnitude of the power generated is calculated by defining the coupling impedance:

[0059]

[0060] Among them, E z is the longitudinal electric field, β 0 is the propagation constant and P is the power.

[0061] Step 2, calculating the changed electron velocity according to the energy exchange between the electron beam and the line field and the energy exchange between the electron beam and the space charge field.

[0062] Specifically, in this step 2, the electron velocity calculation process is as follows:

[0063] The changed electron velocity is calculated by the aforementioned energy exchange between the electron beam and the line field and the energy exchange between the electron beam and the space charge field. The electron velocity calculation formula is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] Among them, v i+1,jis the speed of the electron in the next step, c is the speed of light, m 0 is the electron rest mass, m i,j is the relativistic mass of the electron, Δε i,j For energy exchange.

[0066] Step 3, solve for the current density and charge density.

[0067] Specifically, in this step 3, the current is calculated using the three-point filtering method:

[0068]

[0069] The current density and charge density are calculated based on the current. The current density is S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the electron beam, and the charge density is I is the current, t i is the observation time, t is the arrival time, and ΔQ is the charge of the macroparticle.

[0070] In order to deal with the phenomenon of array out of bounds, a judgment is set during the loop. It should be noted that because the arrival times are sorted according to the time sequence when calculating the current, when solving the charge density from the current, it is necessary to divide it by the sorted speed v.

[0071] Step 4, solve the space charge field. Substituting the current density and charge density into the active Helmholtz equation, the special solution of the space charge field can be obtained. By solving the homogeneous Helmholtz equation and matching the fields in each region through the continuity conditions of the field on the common boundary, the space charge field at the electron beam channel position can be obtained.

[0072] Specifically, in this step 4, when the current and charge density grow exponentially with the longitudinal direction, the spatial Fourier series of the current and charge density require higher-order convergence. Therefore, in order to reduce the order and balance the calculation time and calculation accuracy, assuming that the beam interaction is stable, the time Fourier series of the current and charge density can be performed, and the exponential growth term can be separated from the series. In this way, the current density and charge density can be written in cylindrical coordinates as:

[0073]

[0074] Among them, J 0 is the DC current density, ρ 0 is the DC charge density, α is the growth factor, ω is the frequency, n is the Fourier series order, J n is the nth order amplitude of the AC current density, ρ n is the n-order amplitude of the AC charge density, β n is the equivalent wave number of the AC current density and charge density.

[0075] Substituting into the active Helmholtz equation, we can obtain:

[0076]

[0077] Here, k is the vacuum wave number.

[0078] Where:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, u 0 is the vacuum permeability, ε 0 is the dielectric constant of vacuum.

[0081] Assume that the special solution of the space charge field is expressed as:

[0082]

[0083] Among them, F n is the n-th order space charge field amplitude, is the space charge field phase.

[0084] Substituting into formula (5), we can get:

[0085]

[0086] In the formula

[0087]

[0088] Formula (8) can be written as:

[0089]

[0090] In the formula

[0091]

[0092] We can further get:

[0093]

[0094] The left side of equation (12) is in the form of Bessel equation, and the right side is in the form of power series. In order to obtain the analytical solution of space charge field, S n and F n ' is expressed as the product of Bessel functions and power series:

[0095]

[0096] Among them, J m is the m-th order Bessel function, A n,m,i and a n,m,i are coefficients, r iis a power series.

[0097] Substituting formula (13) into formula (12), we can obtain:

[0098]

[0099] Then the special solution of the space charge field is:

[0100]

[0101] Next, we solve the total space charge field of the general solution of the above space charge field.

[0102] In this embodiment, by solving the passive Helmholtz equation in the cylindrical coordinate system, the general solution of the space charge field can be obtained. After adding the special solution of the space charge field, the total space charge field is obtained as follows:

[0103]

[0104] Among them, A and B are coefficients, I and K are deformed Bessel functions, a is the electron beam radius, b is the electron beam channel radius, c is the inner diameter of the dielectric substrate, and d is the outer diameter of the dielectric substrate.

[0105]

[0106] Among them, k 0 is the vacuum wave number, ε 3 is the relative dielectric constant of the supporting medium, ε spr is the relative dielectric constant of the semiconductor, which is equivalent to the Drude model:

[0107]

[0108] Among them, ε ∞ is the dielectric constant when there are no free electrons, ω p is the plasma frequency, m * is the effective electron mass, N is the carrier concentration, e is the electron charge, ε 0 is the vacuum dielectric constant, γ is the relaxation frequency, γ = e / m * μ n , μ n is the migration rate.

[0109] Assuming Hz is 0, the radial space charge field can be obtained as:

[0110]

[0111] By solving the homogeneous Helmholtz equation and matching the fields in each region through the continuity condition of the field on the common boundary, the space charge field at the electron beam channel position can be obtained as:

[0112]

[0113] In the formula

[0114]

[0115]

[0116] Among them, K m is the m-order deformed Bessel function, K' m is the derivative of the m-th order deformed Bessel function.

[0117] In this embodiment, the electron motion in the semiconductor is equivalently represented as a complex dielectric constant using the Drude model. After boundary matching, the complex dielectric constant of the semiconductor can affect the phase of the space charge field. Therefore, the electron beam can be further clustered only by the interaction between the space charge field and the electron beam.

[0118] Step 5, initializing the working parameters and structural parameters, calculating the electron beam cavity by cavity from the starting position of the interaction zone of the speed control tube to the end position of the interaction zone, thus completing the simulation of the beam-wave interaction process and obtaining performance parameter indicators such as output power and electronic efficiency.

[0119] Specifically, in this step 5, the line field power, working current, coupling impedance of the slow wave line, phase velocity and other working parameters are first initialized, and the structural parameters of the impedance wall are set. Then, the electron beam is calculated cavity by cavity from the starting position of the interaction zone of the speed control tube until the end position of the interaction zone, and the simulation of the beam-wave interaction process can be completed, and the performance parameter indicators such as output power and electronic efficiency can be obtained.

[0120] In the process of interaction between the electron beam and the line field and space charge field, the line field power is updated in combination with step 1, and the electron velocity is updated in combination with step 2. The new current density and charge density are obtained by combining the updated electron velocity and position with step 3. The current space charge field is calculated using step 4, and the calculation on a certain space step is completed. Repeat the above process, starting from the input slow wave line, the electron beam is gradually advanced into the impedance wall until the output slow wave line ends, thereby completing a simulation of the beam-wave interaction process. The specific calculation process of the beam-wave interaction is as follows:

[0121] First, space and time are divided. One cycle of time is divided into M parts, and the electrons in each part of time are regarded as macroparticles. In this way, the physical quantities such as velocity, energy exchange, charge density and current density of each macroparticle at different positions (at each spatial step) can be calculated, and then iterated to the next spatial step. In the process of interaction between the electron beam and the line field and the space charge field, the line field power is updated in combination with step 1, and the electron velocity is updated in combination with step 2. The new current density and charge density are obtained by combining the updated electron velocity and position with step 3. The current space charge field is calculated using step 4, and the calculation at a certain spatial step is completed. Repeat the above process, starting from the input slow wave line, the electron beam is gradually advanced into the impedance wall until the output slow wave line ends.

[0122] When performing impedance wall injection wave interaction, the line field can be ignored. This is because the line field loss in the impedance wall is very large. The line field decays quickly after entering the impedance wall, and the line field phase velocity in the impedance wall is much higher than the electron beam velocity, so synchronous interaction is impossible. When the electron beam passes through the impedance wall, the information about the current modulation is stored in the impedance wall in the form of surface plasma. When the second half of the electron beam arrives, the surface plasma stored in the impedance wall causes the space charge field phase delay. Therefore, the phase delay of the space charge field can further cluster the electron beam by the space charge field itself.

[0123] This embodiment also proposes a nonlinear injection wave interaction simulation system for an impedance wall amplifier, such as Figure 3 As shown, the system proposed in this embodiment includes:

[0124] The power update module is used to solve the energy exchange between the electron beam and the line field and the energy exchange between the electron beam and the space charge field, obtain the line field power change, and thus update the line field power. The specific process is as described in step 1 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0125] The speed update module is used to calculate the changed electron speed according to the energy exchange between the electron beam and the line field and the energy exchange between the electron beam and the space charge field, so as to update the electron speed. The specific process is as described in step 2 above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0126] Density update module, which is used to calculate current density and charge density. The specific process is as described in step 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0127] The space charge field calculation module is used to calculate the space charge field at the current space step. The specific calculation process is as described in step 4 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0128] The simulation module includes an initialization unit, which is used to initialize the line power, working current, coupling impedance of the slow-wave line, phase velocity and other working parameters, set the structural parameters of the impedance wall, etc.; and also includes a calculation unit, which calls the power update module, the speed update module, the density update module and the space charge field calculation module to calculate the electron beam cavity by cavity from the starting position of the interaction zone of the speed control tube to the end position of the interaction zone, thereby completing a simulation of the beam-wave interaction process and obtaining performance parameter indicators such as output power and electronic efficiency.

[0129] Example 2

[0130] This embodiment adopts the impedance wall nonlinear injection wave interaction simulation technology proposed in the above embodiment to obtain the simulation results of the 35GHz impedance wall amplifier, as shown in FIG. Figure 4-6 shown.

[0131] in, Figure 4 The graph shows the trend of the phase shift of the space charge field in the 35GHz impedance wall amplifier as the electrical properties of the semiconductor film change. It can be seen from the figure that when the thickness of the semiconductor film is different, the required semiconductor conductivity is different, and the electron beam filling ratio will also affect the phase of the space charge field. Therefore, reasonable semiconductor parameters, electron beam and structural dimensions need to be set in different frequency bands so that the space charge field can be in a suitable phase and effectively interact with the electron beam.

[0132] Figure 5 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the AC charge density in the 35GHz impedance wall amplifier. The metal drift tube is the metal drift tube that replaces the impedance wall in the impedance wall amplifier, and the other parts remain unchanged. It can be seen from the figure that compared with the metal wall, the AC charge density of the electron beam in the impedance wall increases, reflecting the enhanced clustering. This verifies that although there is no synchronous interaction between the line field and the electron beam in both the metal wall and the impedance wall, the electron beam can further enhance the clustering due to the interaction between the electron beam and the space charge field in the impedance wall.

[0133] Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the high-frequency line field power in the 35GHz impedance wall amplifier is shown. As can be seen from the figure, the electron beam is clustered and enhanced after passing through the impedance wall, and quickly re-excites the high-frequency electromagnetic wave after entering the slow-wave line.
