研究目的
To design a 0.22THz folded-waveguide oscillator with higher output power and efficiency than BWOs, using analytic Pierce theory and time-domain simulations.
研究成果
The maximum output power of the oscillator can reach 5W with the 18kV/50mA electron beam, with an efficiency of about 1%. The simulation data provides a design method for a 0.22THz folded-waveguide oscillator using helical corrugation waveguide later.
研究不足
The electric tunable bandwidth is limited to about 1GHz in the range of 0.219THz ~ 0.22THz. Increasing the beam voltage beyond a certain point causes the stable oscillation to break down.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The design was conducted using analytic Pierce theory and time-domain simulations.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The folded-waveguide slow wave structure parameters were determined by fitting to the circuit dispersion and impedance as functions of frequency by the 3D finite element EM code.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The design parameters include wide side, narrow side, straight side, half period number, beam channel diameter, cathode voltage, and cathode current.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The folded-waveguide slow wave structure was divided into two sections with different phase velocities to increase electron beam efficiency.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The output power was simulated in PIC software, and the results were analyzed for maximum output power and efficiency.
