渡越时间振荡器的注入式锁相研究

    Injection Phase-Locking of a Transit-Time Oscillator

    • 摘要: 针对空间功率合成中多个微波源的锁相问题,设计了一种带有注入结构的Ku 波段同轴渡越时间振荡器。在输入腔与三腔结构的调制腔之间,加入了效率99.9%以上的反射腔以防止功率向输入腔和发射端泄露。射频信号沿磁场方向注入同轴波导,既保证了磁场线圈的连续,又抑制了器件中的不对称模式。粒子模拟结果表明,当注入比为0.1、频率差为67MHz 时可实现锁相。研究还发现,高功率的注入信号能使器件提前饱和,并且得到更高的输出功率。另外,相比Adler经典锁相理论,仿真结果得到了更大的锁相范围。

       

      Abstract: To realize phase-locking of high power microwave (HPM) sources for the purposes of spatial power combining, a Ku-band coaxial transit-time oscillator (TTO) with an injection structure is investigated. Between the input cavity and the trinal-cavity buncher, a reflector with reflection efficiency of 99.9% is introduced to prevent the leakage power propagating to the input cavity and the cathode. The RF signal is injected into the input cavity through a coaxial waveguide along the guiding magnet, which avoids separating the magnet coils, and suppresses the asymmetric modes excited in the device. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation results indicate that when the injection power ratio ρ is 0.1, the phase-locking is achieved for a frequency difference of 67MHz. It has also been found that the injected signal of higher power results in higher output power and earlier saturation. Moreover, a wider locking bandwidth is expected by the results than that obtained by the Adler’s condition.
