Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a microwave source device in the field of high-power microwave technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency relativistic backward wave oscillator based on cavity cooperation, belonging to the field of high-power microwave technology. Background Art

[0002] High-power microwaves are generally defined as electromagnetic waves with a peak power exceeding 100 MW and a frequency in the range of 1 GHz to 300 GHz. It belongs to an interdisciplinary field of plasma physics, pulsed power technology, and physical electronics, and has broad application prospects in frontier fields such as plasma thermonuclear fusion, high-power radar, and high-energy radio frequency acceleration.

[0003] A high-power microwave source refers to a device in a high-power microwave system that converts the energy of a high-current relativistic electron beam into microwave energy, that is, generates high-power microwaves. The relativistic Cherenkov oscillator is one of the most promising high-power microwave source devices at present. It uses the interaction between a high-current relativistic electron beam and a high-frequency electromagnetic structure to generate Cherenkov radiation, and then self-excites to generate high-power microwaves. When the electromagnetic wave in the slow-wave structure is a backward wave, this type of relativistic Cherenkov oscillator is called a relativistic backward wave oscillator. Currently, how to achieve a relativistic backward wave oscillator with high-efficiency output remains the focus of attention in the industry.

[0004] In 2010, Zhang Jun et al. from the National University of Defense Technology studied a C-band resonant relativistic backward wave tube [Zhang Jun, Jin Zhenxing, Zhong Huihuang, etc. Design of C-band resonant relativistic backward wave oscillator and its high-frequency characteristics [J]. High Power Laser and Particle Beams, 2010, 22(10)]. (Hereinafter referred to as the prior art 1, as Figure 1 shown). This structure consists of an annular cathode 101, a cut-off neck 102, an inserted waveguide 103, a slow-wave structure 104, a reflector 105, a conical waveguide 106, and a collector 107. The entire device is rotationally symmetric about the center. This scheme adjusts the phase difference between the -1st backward wave and the forward fundamental wave by adding a smooth waveguide between the slow-wave structure and the cut-off neck. Different phase differences will affect the effect of the beam-wave interaction. Under the conditions of a guiding magnetic field of 2.5 T, a diode voltage of 780 kV, and a current of 7.8 kA, C-band microwaves with an output power of 1.5 GW are generated, and the conversion efficiency is only 25%. This scheme has a relatively high operating voltage and operating current, and the small period of the slow-wave structure results in a low conversion efficiency, which still needs to be further improved.

[0005] In 2018, Cao Yibing et al. from the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology studied a C-band long-pulse relativistic backward wave tube device [Cao Yibing, Sun Jun, Song Zhimin, et al. Design and experiment of C-band long-pulse relativistic backward wave tube [J]. High Power Laser and Particle Beams, 2018, 30(05): 53-56.]. (Hereinafter referred to as the prior art 2, as Figure 2 shown). This structure consists of an annular cathode 201, a trapezoidal resonant reflector 202, a non-uniform trapezoidal slow-wave structure 203, a trapezoidal extraction cavity 204, a coaxial collector 205, and an output waveguide 206. Under the conditions of a diode operating voltage of 800 kV and a current of 9.7 kA, the output microwave power is approximately 3.7 GW, the efficiency is approximately 47.7%, and the operating frequency is 4.27 GHz.

[0006] Analyzing the above research status, it is not difficult to see that at present, it is still very difficult for the efficiency of C-band relativistic backward wave tube oscillators to exceed 50%. How to achieve an efficiency greater than 50% is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The cathode 302 is a thin-walled cylinder with a wall thickness of 2 mm and a radius of R1, which is sleeved on the right end of the cathode holder 301.

[0012] All parameters of the double-gap modulation cavity 304 need to be optimized as a whole according to the operating wavelength λ, so that the generated microwaves cannot be transmitted back to the cathode region.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the following technical effects can be achieved by adopting the present invention:

[0019] 1. The high-efficiency relativistic backward wave oscillator based on cavity cooperation provided by the present invention adopts a double-gap modulation cavity and a double-gap extraction cavity. The combined use of the two types of cavities enables the generated microwaves to further modulate the electron beam, and makes the position where the electron beam bunching is the strongest appear near the double-gap extraction cavity. After being sufficiently decelerated by the axial electric field, the beam power is concentrated and converted into transition radiation, and finally a conversion efficiency greater than 50% can be obtained.

[0020] 2. The high-efficiency relativistic backward wave oscillator based on cavity cooperation provided by the present invention adopts a double-gap modulation cavity. The reflection coefficient of the double-gap modulation cavity can reach 0.997, which can effectively suppress the leakage of backward microwaves to the diode region. At the same time, the electric field in the double-gap modulation cavity can also pre-modulate the electron beam, which is beneficial to the bunching of the electron beam and thus improves the conversion efficiency.

[0021] 3. The high-efficiency relativistic backward wave oscillator based on cavity cooperation provided by the present invention adopts a double-gap extraction cavity. The double-gap extraction cavity can strengthen the local axial electric field and further decelerate the electron beam, thereby improving the microwave output power and conversion efficiency. The double-gap extraction cavity can also reflect part of the microwaves to the slow-wave structure region, thereby improving the modulation depth. Brief Description of the Drawings

Detailed implementation manners

[0034] The accompanying drawings that form a part of this application are used to provide a further understanding of the present invention. The schematic embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention and do not constitute an improper limitation to the present invention.

[0035] The present invention is composed of a cathode base 301, a cathode 302, an anode outer cylinder 303, a double-gap modulation cavity 304, a non-uniform slow-wave structure 305, a drift cavity 306, a double-gap extraction cavity 307, an output waveguide 308, and a solenoid magnetic field 309. The entire structure is rotationally symmetric about the central axis.

[0036] The cathode base 301 and the anode outer cylinder 303 are usually made of non-magnetic stainless steel materials. The cathode 302 can be made of high-hardness graphite or heat-resistant glass cloth-epoxy resin copper-clad laminate (FR-5) materials. The solenoid magnetic field 309 is wound with enameled copper wire or glass fiber-covered copper wire. The left end of the cathode base 301 is externally connected to the inner conductor of the pulsed power driver source, and the left end of the anode outer cylinder 303 is externally connected to the outer conductor of the pulsed power driver source.

[0037] When the present invention operates, the pre-stage pulsed power source is loaded onto the cathode base 301. The cathode 302 generates a ring-shaped high-current relativistic particle beam. The high-current relativistic particle beam is initially velocity-modulated in the double-gap modulation cavity 304 and further velocity-modulated by the first few blades of the non-uniform slow-wave structure 305. When the high-current relativistic particle beam passes through the drift cavity 306, it begins to turn into density modulation, forming the bunching of the electron beam. Then, when passing through the second section of the non-uniform slow-wave structure 305, the bunched electron beam interacts with the microwave field through beam-wave interaction, generating Cherenkov radiation and delivering energy to the microwave. When passing through the double-gap extraction cavity 307, the bunched electron beam is decelerated by the axial electric field, thereby generating concentrated transition radiation and further increasing the microwave output power.

[0038] This embodiment realizes a high-efficiency relativistic backward wave tube oscillator based on cavity cooperation with a working frequency of 7.80 GHz (corresponding to a microwave wavelength λ = 3.83 cm). The corresponding size design is as follows: R1 = 23 mm, R2 = 28 mm, R3 = 34 mm, R4 = 30.5 mm, R5 = 34 mm, R6 = 29 mm, R7 = 33.5 mm, R8 = 34 mm, R 10 = 35 mm, R 11 = 35.5 mm, R 12 = 35 mm, R 13 = 34.5 mm, R 14 = 37 mm, R 15 = 35 mm, L1 = 3 mm, L2 = 11.5 mm, L3 = 10.5 mm, L4 = 13 mm, L5 = 8 mm, L6 = 5 mm, L7 = 5 mm, L8 = 3 mm, L9 = 4.5 mm, L 10 = 4.5 mm, L 11 = 4 mm, L 12 = 13 mm, L 13 = 4 mm, L 14 = 4 mm, L 15 = 2.5 mm, L 16 = 3.5 mm, L 17 = 3 mm, L 18 = 3.5 mm, L 19 = 3 mm, L 20 = 3.5 mm, L 21 = 3.5 mm, L 22 = 5 mm, L 31 = 4 mm, L 32 = 4 mm, L 33 = 4 mm, L 34 = 4 mm, L 35 = 4 mm, L 36 = 5 mm, L 37 = 5 mm, L 38 = 4 mm, L 39 = 4 mm, L 40 = 3 mm, L 41 = 3 mm, L 42 = 3 mm, L 43 = 3 mm, L 44 = 9 mm, L 45 = 6.5 mm, L 46 = 3 mm.

[0039] In particle simulation, under the conditions of a diode voltage of 468 kV, a current of 5.7 kA, and a guiding magnetic field of 0.7 T, high-power microwaves with an output frequency of 7.80 GHz are generated. The output microwave power is 1.87 GW, and the conversion efficiency reaches 53%.

[0040] See Figure 4 , it can be seen that the reflection coefficient S of the double-gap reflection cavity used in the oscillator at the operating frequency of 7.80 GHz 11 is 0.997, which can effectively isolate the slow-wave structure region and the diode region, thereby improving the conversion efficiency.

[0041] See Figure 5 , it can be seen that the input electric power of the oscillator is 3.48 GW.

[0042] See Figure 6 , it can be seen that the frequency of the output microwave of the oscillator is 7.80 GHz, the spectrum is pure, and the frequency doubling is small.

[0043] See Figure 7 , it can be seen that the output microwave power of the oscillator is 1.84 GW.

[0044] See Figure 8 , it can be seen that when a non-uniform rectangular slow-wave structure is loaded, the output microwave conversion efficiency of the oscillator will be affected by the drift cavity length L 12 . As L 12 increases, the conversion efficiency first increases and then decreases. The optimal value of L 12 is 13 mm, and the conversion efficiency reaches the highest at this time, which is 53%.

[0045] See Figure 9 , it can be seen that compared with loading a single modulation cavity, after loading a double-gap modulation cavity, the overall modulation effect of the device on the electron beam is stronger, and the electron beam bunching near the extraction cavity is stronger, making the device have a higher beam-wave conversion efficiency.

[0046] See Figure 10 , it can be seen that compared with loading a single extraction cavity, after loading a double-gap extraction cavity, more beam current power can be converted into transition radiation, thereby improving the conversion efficiency.

[0047] See Figure 11 , it can be seen that compared with loading a single modulation cavity, the output microwave power is greatly increased when loading a double-gap modulation cavity, indicating that the modulation effect of the double-gap modulation cavity on the electron beam is stronger, thereby improving the beam-wave conversion efficiency.

[0048] See Figure 12 , it can be seen that compared with loading a single extraction cavity, the output microwave power is greatly increased when loading a double-gap extraction cavity, indicating that the double-gap extraction cavity can greatly enhance the transition radiation generated by the electron beam, thereby significantly improving the beam-wave conversion efficiency.
