This article presents the investigation of a millimetre-wave extended interaction oscillation using both pencil and sheet-shaped pseudospark (PS)-sourced electron beams. Two W-band (75–110 GHz) pencil and sheet beam extended interaction oscillators (EIO) were designed and constructed respectively. The PS-sourced pencil beam EIO structure was firstly driven by a four-gap PS discharge operating at 30...
High quality intense electron beams play an important role in high power millimeter-wave and terahertz radiation generation. To this end, the pseudospark-sourced electron beam has been investigated with their applications in different beam-wave interaction structures. Different structures have been designed and modelled using the particle-in-cell codes MAGIC and CST Particle Studio. The experimental...
Pseudospark (PS) electron beams of outstanding performance have been studied recently with their application to a demanding field of millimeter-wave and terahertz radiation generation. To this end, the PS discharge process itself has been studied and millimeter wave sources which utilize a PS sourced electron beam in different beam-wave interaction structures have been designed and modelled using...
X-ray emission has been achieved using an electron beam generated by a pseudospark low-pressure discharge and utilised as a diagnostic for beam detection. A 300A, 34kV PS-sourced electron beam pulse of 3mm diameter impacting on a 0.1mm-thick molybdenum target generated X-rays which were detected via the use of a small, portable X-ray detector. Clear X-ray images of a micro-sized object were captured...
Millimeter-wave radiation has been successfully generated by a ∼100GHz BWO driven by a high brightness electron beam derived from a 14-gap pseudospark discharge. Pseudospark electron beams have been studied recently with their application to millimeter-wave and terahertz radiation generation. A BWO utilizing the interaction between an axial electron beam and a slow-wave structure was designed and...
Pseudospark electron beams of micro-sizes have been measured recently and their application to millimeter-wave and terahertz radiation generation is being investigated. A three cavity 94 GHz klystron using a micro-sized beam has been designed and simulated and is currently being constructed.
High frequency radiation sources in sub-terahertz frequency range (0.1–1 THz) are currently very attractive for both research and technical applications. To generate the high frequency radiation, a pseudospark (PS)-sourced electron beam is ideal because of its scalability accompanied with high intensity and high quality beam generation [1, 2]. The propagation of a PS electron beam is aided by an ion...
A small-scale pseudospark discharge is being investigated as the electron beam source for a klystron operating at a frequency of 94 GHz, and single-gap discharge experiments have been carried out. The klystron has been designed using the particle-in-cell (PiC) code MAGIC-2D and simulated output to date looks promising.

The Terahertz band of EM spectrum has received considerable research interests recently. A micro-klystron has the potential to meet the requirement of high power and compact terahertz source in many applications. The micro-klystron needs a very thin electron beam with sufficient current density. A pseudospark discharge cathode has the ability to provide high current density with small diameter electron...
Based on previous experimental investigations on pseudospark (PS) discharges, a small-scaled PS electron beam source was conceived to drive a 200GHz microklystron. Recent PS e-beam experiments producing a beam of 1mm in diameter and klystron interaction simulations will be presented. The microklystron will be fabricated using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) construction techniques.
A multicavity microklystron operating in the terahertz region has been designed and simulated. This microklystron will be driven by an electron beam sourced by a down-scaled pseudospark discharge.
Summary form only given: Demands in plasma diagnostics, radiotherapy, medical research and advanced communications have in recent years resulted in the development of new radiation sources in the terahertz region (0.1 to 10 THz). A klystron is one attractive choice for generation of THz radiation due to its operation mechanism, efficiency and robustness and because its structure is amenable to being...
Summary form only given. Terahertz radiation, which ranges from 0.1 THz to 10 THz, has received substantial interests in recent years. The conventional vacuum electronics technology has the potential to supply high enough powers to underpin many exciting and emerging THz applications. Klystrons have been designed to generate THz radiation. This vacuum device requires a very small sized RF circuit...
