Microwave pulse compression results from a five-fold helically corrugated waveguide are presented. In these experiments an X-band microwave pulse of duration 80 ns and a 6% frequency sweep was compressed from 5.8 kW to 128kW into a 1.6 ns pulse with a compression factor of 22 in the peak power.
Microwave pulse compression has applications in radar technology and plasma diagnostics. The pulse compressor requires a dispersion curve with a monotonic group velocity and low losses in a reasonable wide frequency band. It can be achieved by the helically corrugated waveguide (HCW) [1–3] with both axial and azimuthal periodicity that couples modes in the circular waveguide to generate new operating...
X-band passive microwave pulse compression is an interesting area of research in vacuum electronics. Applications include radar technology, plasma diagnostics etc. The scientific study of producing high-power nanosecond microwave pulses, using passive sweep-frequency compression, was undertaken. Two novel helically corrugated waveguides were investigated; 3-fold and 5-fold, respectively. The 3-fold...
This paper presents the design and simulation of a 390 GHz harmonic gyrotron operating with a TE71 mode at the 7th electron cyclotron harmonic of a large orbit electron beam from a cusp electron gun. The electron beam has an energy of 40 keV, beam current of 1.5 A, an adjustable pitch alpha from 1 to 2 with a minimum beam velocity spread and scalloping in the beam trajectory. Interaction region based...
The latest results of experimental investigations of an X-band gyro-TWA using a cusp gun and a helically corrugated interaction region are presented. Results will be presented from two experimental investigations, one using a 150 kV, 35 A beam from a cold field emission cusp gun and one with a 150 kV, 70 A beam from a thermionic cusp gun. Designs for a gridded thermionic cusp gun currently under construction...
This paper presents the design of a W-band gyro-BWO with a helically corrugated waveguide and a cusp electron gun. Results are presented of simulations of the cusp gun and microwave measurements of the interaction region using a vector network analyser. Over the frequency range 85-105 GHz the helically corrugated waveguide was found to have an average loss of just under 1 dB. Also, the waveguide dispersion...
A gyrotron traveling wave amplifier (gyro-TWA) with a cusp electron gun and a helically corrugated waveguide operating in the W-band is presented. The large orbit electron beam from the cusp gun interacts resonantly with an ideal eigenwave existing in the interaction region based on the cyclotron resonance maser instability. When driven by the electron beam of energy 40 keV and current 1.5 A, the...
