This article presents the investigation of millimetre wave extended interaction oscillation (EIO) using both pencil and sheet-shaped pseudospark (PS)-sourced electron beams. A W-band (75–110 GHz) pencil beam Extended Interaction Oscillator (EIO) was designed and constructed to operate for the first experiment with the output power of 38 W achieved from a four-gap PS discharge operating at 30.5 kV...
The components of a W-band gyro-TWA including input coupler, output window, corrugated output mode converter, pulsed power system and water-cooled beam dump are being upgraded to achieve an output power of 5 kW and a high pulse repetition rate of 2 kHz for cloud radar applications. Latest results of the W-band gyro-TWA with a helically corrugated waveguide and a cusp electron gun are presented.
In this paper gyrotron travelling wave amplifiers (gyro-TWAs) based on helically corrugated interaction regions will be presented. Their operating principle and the first experiment in X-band will be reviewed. The present experiment in W-band using a cusp electron beam source with the capability of a high pulse repetition frequency of 2 kHz will also be presented. The design and performances of the...
Theoretical calculation, numerical simulation and experimental development of a W-band gyro-TWA with a helically corrugated waveguide and a cusp electron gun are presented. The cusp gun generated a 40 keV, 1.5 A axis-encircling electron beam. The maximum output of the gyro-TWA was predicted to be 5 kW with a 3 dB frequency bandwidth of 90–100 GHz and a saturated gain of 37 dB. The latest experimental...
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.
The results of 3-fold helically corrugated waveguide microwave pulse compression experiments are presented. A pulse of 80 ns duration having a power of 5.6 kW is compressed into a 140 kW peak power pulse of 1.5 ns duration. To enhance the power capabilities of the microwave pulse compressor a larger diameter 5fold helical waveguide structure was studied; the eigenwave dispersion is discussed using...
In this paper, we report the observation of high-current (1.5 kA), magnetically confined, annular electron beams with circumference of -220 mm and wall thickness of ~2 mm and its transportation through the 2 m coaxial beam channel with inner/outer radii of 30 mm/40 mm respectively. The results of the experimental studies of a FEM driven by such an electron beam are presented. The results of FEM lasing...
