    • 摘要: 回旋行波管兼具高功率和宽频带特性,在高分辨成像雷达、电子对抗、深空探测等重要军事领域具有广泛的应用前景。基于大回旋电子注的回旋行波放大器可稳定工作于高次谐波状态,成倍降低了工作磁场,甚至可以实现无需超导磁场工作,推动回旋行波管小型化发展,拓展了回旋行波管的应用范围。文中优化设计了一支Ka波段二次谐波大回旋行波管,采用具有介质加载的螺旋波纹波导互作用电路,有效抑制返波振荡,提高了器件工作的稳定性和工作带宽。文中借助三维粒子仿真软件,对螺旋波纹波导大回旋行波管注-波互作用进行了模拟仿真,并分析了电子注质量对注-波互作用性能的影响。结果表明,即使考虑了10%的速度零散,在电子注电压为75 kV,电流为8 A,工作磁场为0.593 T,该回旋行波管的峰值功率能够达到140.54 kW,-3 dB带宽为3.2 GHz,带内最大增益为30.65 dB。

       

      Abstract: Gyrotron traveling wave tubes (Gyrotron-TWT) have both characteristics of high power and broadband, which have broad application prospects in many important military fields such as millimeter wave detection and high resolution imaging radar, electronic countermeasures, etc. The Gyrotron-TWT with large orbit electron beams can operate in high-order harmonic state, exponentially reducing the operating magnetic field and even achieving superconducting free operation, thereby advancing Gyrotron-TWT miniaturization. It can improve the flexibility and maneuverability of Gyrotron-TWT. A Ka band second harmonic Gyrotron-TWT with large orbit electron beams is theoretical designed, which adopts helically corrugated waveguide loaded with lossy dielectric to effectively suppress backwave oscillation and improve the stability of device operation. The process of beam wave interaction in the Gyrotron-TWT was simulated by using three-dimensional particle simulation software. The results show that at the condition of the electron beam voltage of 75 kV, the current of 8 A, the magnetic field of 0.593 T, the corresponding output power can reach 140.54 kW, the bandwidth is 3.2 GHz, and the maximum gain is 30.65 dB.
