Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microwave transceiver technology, and in particular to a small airborne high-power microwave device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern warfare, low-altitude small targets such as drone swarms and loitering munitions pose a severe challenge to air defense systems. Traditional air defense methods, such as missile interception, are costly and inefficient. High-power microwave weapons, with their "soft-kill" characteristics that interfere with and burn out electronic equipment, and their "hard-kill" capabilities that directly destroy targets, have become an ideal choice to deal with such threats. Electronic warfare has shifted from simple jamming to the practical need for "destroy and use" in combat. Currently, small airborne high-power microwave devices can be rapidly deployed on drones, helicopters, or fighter jets to carry out precision strikes against enemy radar and communication nodes, and even directly paralyze enemy air defense systems.

[0003] Traditional traveling wave tubes have short lifespans, long warm-up times, and are highly sensitive to vibration and temperature factors, resulting in poor equipment stability and affecting performance. Therefore, there is a need for a small, airborne, high-power microwave device with strong vibration resistance and stable signal generation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a small airborne high-power microwave device, which aims to solve the problems of short lifespan, long preheating time, and sensitivity to vibration and temperature environmental factors of traditional traveling wave tubes, resulting in poor equipment stability and affecting the performance of the device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a small airborne high-power microwave device, comprising a first independent traveling wave tube (TWT), a second independent TWT, a first electron gun injection port, a second electron gun injection port, a first energy coupler, a second energy coupler, a first connecting component, a second connecting component, a first auxiliary component, and a second auxiliary component.

The first collection stage is connected to the second independent traveling wave tube and is located at the end of the second independent traveling wave tube away from the second energy coupler. The first energy return tube is connected to the first electron gun injection port and the first collection stage, respectively.

[0007] The second connection component includes a second collector stage and a second energy return tube. The second collector stage is connected to the first independent traveling wave tube and is located at the end of the first independent traveling wave tube away from the first energy coupler. The second energy return tube is connected to the second electron gun injection port and the second collector stage, respectively.

[0008] The first auxiliary component includes a first input coupling and a first output coupling. The first input coupling is connected to the first independent traveling wave tube and is located above the first independent traveling wave tube. The first output coupling is connected to the first independent traveling wave tube and is located above the first independent traveling wave tube.

The second input coupling is connected to the second independent traveling wave tube and is located above the second independent traveling wave tube. The second output coupling is connected to the second independent traveling wave tube and is located above the second independent traveling wave tube.

[0010] This invention discloses a small airborne high-power microwave device. In use, new electrons are injected through the first electron gun injection port, and the energy recovered by the first connecting component is delivered to the second energy coupler and the first independent traveling wave tube. The emitted electromagnetic wave signal is then coupled through the first auxiliary component, and the coupled high-power microwave is then output. The second electron gun injection port operates on the same principle as the first electron gun injection port, simultaneously injecting new electrons and the energy recovered by the first connecting component into the second energy coupler. The emitted electromagnetic wave signal is then coupled through the second auxiliary component, and the coupled high-power microwave is then output.
