W-Band Second-Harmonic Gyrotron Traveling Wave Amplifier with Distributed-Loss and Severed Structures

The second harmonic TE₀₂ gyrotron traveling wave amplifier (gyro-TWT) is a high-power, broadband, millimeter-wave amplifier with a low applied magnetic field. Mode-selective interaction circuits were applied to suppressing spurious oscillations. However, the mode-selective interaction circuit may perturb the operating mode in the gyro-TWT. A multi-stage gyro-TWT design with distributed-loss and severed structures is proposed to stabilize the amplification. This study presents a nonlinear analysis of typical oscillations, including absolute instability, gyrotron backward oscillation (gyro-BWO) and reflective oscillation. The lossy and severed sections of the multi-stage gyro-TWT seem to increase effectively the start-oscillation currents of the absolute instability, gyro-BWO, and reflection oscillation. The multi-stage gyro-TWT is predicted to yield a peak output power of 215 kW at 89.9 GHz with an efficiency of 14.3 %, a saturated gain of 60 dB and a bandwidth of 1.7 GHz for a 100 kV, 15 A electron beam with an axial velocity spread Δν _z/ν _z = 5%.     

Study of Nonlinear Oscillation Behavior of a Gyrotron Traveling-Wave Tube

The gyrotron traveling wave tube (gyro-TWT) is a high-power, broadband, millimeter-wave amplifier. This study employed a nonlinear self-consistent code to analyze nonlinear oscillation behavior of a gyro-TWT. There are three operating regimes in the gyro-TWT, including amplification, nonlinear oscillation and mode competition regimes. Based on theory of nonlinear oscillation, the amplification and nonlinear oscillation modes are the stable modes and compete with each other in the mode competition regime. An oscillator plane of the gyro-TWT is elucidated in the paper. This work shows that the amplification mode transits to the nonlinear oscillation mode where the input power exceeds the critical power and the beam current is above the start-oscillation current on the free-running operation. Moreover, the peak gain for the nonlinear oscillation mode is enhanced as the frequency of the input sign approaches the oscillation frequency on free-running operation.     

Stability analysis of TE01 gyrotron travelling wave amplifiers

The fundamental harmonic TE₀₁ gyrotron travelling wave amplifier (gyro-TWT) is a high-power, broadband, millimetre-wave amplifier with a low ohmic dissipation and a large guiding centre radius. However, spurious oscillations may reduce the amplification of the gyro-TWT. The stability of severed and distributed-loss gyro-TWTs is analysed, using a self-consistent simulation code. A nonlinear analysis of typical oscillations, including absolute instability, gyrotron backward oscillation (gyro-BWO) and reflective oscillation, is presented. Simulation results indicate that attenuating severs in the severed gyro-TWT do not suppress spurious oscillations, and that increasing the wall losses to suppress gyro-BWO in the distributed-loss gyro-TWT degrades the efficiency of the gyro-TWT amplifier. A multi-stage distributed-loss gyro-TWT design is developed to stabilize the amplification. The lossy and severed sections of the multi-stage gyro-TWT seem to increase effectively the start-oscillation currents of absolute instability and gyro-BWO, respectively. The multi-stage gyro-TWT is predicted to yield a peak output power of 155?kW at 32.9?GHz with an efficiency of 15%, a saturated gain of 45?dB and a bandwidth of 2.2?GHz for a 100?kV, 10?A electron beam with an axial velocity spread Δv_z /v_z = 5%.

The design of a Ka-band gyrotron traveling wave amplifier with high power and wide bandwidth is presented in detail. The amplifier operates in the TE11 circular mode at the fundamental cyclotron harmonic. The distributed loss technique is adopted in the interaction circuit which guarantees the amplifier zero-drive stability. The effects of the parameters such as input power, driver frequency and magnetic field on the performance of the gyro-TWT are discussed. The simulation results show that the gain and the 3dB bandwidth of the designed Ka-band gyro-TWT are about 56.0dB and 1.8 GHz ,respectively. The peak output power and the corresponding electronic efficiency are about 100 kW and 23.8% respectively with the voltage 70 kV and the current 6A at the velocity ratio 1.0.     

GAIN AND BANDWIDTH ANALYSIS OF A VANE-LOADED GYRO-TWT

Theoretical investigation of the peak-gain and 3-dB bandwidth of the vane-loaded gyro-traveling wave tube (gyro-TWT) amplifier in the small-orbit TE₀₁ waveguide mode configuration at 35 GHz has been presented. The vane-loaded gyro-TWT enjoys higher gain and bandwidth compared to that of the smooth-wall device. In the analysis, the azimuthal harmonic effects generated due to the angular periodicity of vanes in the wedge-shaped metal vane-loaded cylindrical waveguide interaction structure have been taken into account in the cold (beam-absent) dispersion relation only.     

Geometrical Effects on the Performance of Coaxial-Waveguide Gyrotron Traveling-Wave Amplifiers

This theoretical investigation examines the feasibility of improving the stability of the coaxial-waveguide gyrotron traveling-wave tube (gyro-TWT) by selecting the geometrical parameter C, i.e., the ratio of the outer radius to the inner radius. The effects of the geometrical parameter C on the start-oscillation currents of oscillation modes are analyzed to determine the optimum operating conditions. Simulation results indicate that the coaxial gyro-TWT with distributed wall losses can be stably operated at a higher beam current by optimizing C. Additionally, the saturated behaviors of the operating TE₀₁ mode are evaluated for several C values to investigate the geometrical effects on the amplification of the coaxial gyro-TWT. Moreover, performance of the fundamental harmonic coaxial gyro-TWT achieved with the optimized C value is predicted under stable operating conditions.
