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.
This paper presents a methodology for the diagnosis of HVDC systems based on partial discharge analysis. In particular, the characteristics of partial discharge phenomena from different test objects are highlighted, with the aim of providing tools enabling automatic identification of the type of PD, as well as noise and disturbance rejection, for on-line and/or off-line PD testing of HVDC equipments...

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...
The aging of the epoxy-paper insulation of an oil-impregnated transformer was studied through partial discharge analysis. Accelerated electrical aging tests were carried out on samples of transformers windings, with and without paper insulation. Partial discharge (PD) measurements according to standard IEC 60270 were performed periodically during aging, and partial discharge phase patterns were recorded...
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.
This research aims at establishing criteria for the automatic identification of defects in paper/oil insulation systems. Statistical analysis of partial discharge (PD) data collected in a reference database (built up from tests on artificial defects: internal PD, surface PD, corona and discharges due to bubbles in oil) is carried out to highlight the best identification markers. The development of...
Internal and surface partial discharges in HVDC apparatus are investigated in this paper focusing on their dependence on humidity and temperature. The experimental observations show that environmental conditions play an important role in the discharge behavior under HVDC. A preliminary effort has been made to explain these phenomena resorting to space charge analysis.
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...
