摘要:
Technology is described for vacuum electron device (e.g., sheet beam klystron) that includes a hollow tube structure. In one example, the hollow tube structure includes at least three resonant cavities 210 and at least two drift tube sections 230. Each resonant cavity includes a cavity width along a major axis and a cavity height along a minor axis. Each drift tube section includes a drift tube section width and a drift tube section height, and the cavity height is greater than the drift tube section height. A first drift tube section is disposed between a first resonant cavity and a second resonant cavity. A second drift tube section is disposed between the second resonant cavity and a third resonant cavity. A drift tube section width of the first drift tube section is substantially different from a drift tube section width of the second drift tube section.
摘要:
A coupled cavity circuit for a microwave electron tube comprises at least two resonant cavities adjacent to each other. An electron beam tunnel passes through the coupled cavity circuit to allow a beam of electrons to pass through and interact with the electromagnetic energy in the cavities. An iris connecting the adjacent cavities allows electromagnetic energy to flow from one cavity to the next. The iris is shaped to cause the iris mode passband to be lower in frequency than the cavity mode passband while still providing broadband frequency response. In addition, the present coupled cavity circuit operates on an electron beam to interact with the third space harmonic of the second passband (the cavity passband) of the electromagnetic signal. Preferably, this interaction occurs on the second passband as this operational design provides output with higher frequencies without decreasing the cavity size. Furthermore, this operational design provides more frequencies with no increase to the iris size. This results in allowing higher power to be provided to the circuit without thermal degradation of the circuit. Also, because the interaction occurs on the third space harmonic of the second passband, the present operational design results in providing flatter frequency responses.

There is provided a high performance extended interaction output circuit (EIOC) (10) having two cavities (12 and 14). The EIOC (10) of the present invention has an image impedance (ZI) which is twice the magnitude of its output load resistance (32). The EIOC (Figs. 4, 5 and 6) of the present invention also includes a three cavity EIOC (Figs. 4, 5 and 6) which has two image impedances (ZI and ZI/2), the second image impedance ZI/2) being one half the magnitude of the first image impedance (ZI), while the output load impedance (58) of the three cavity EIOC (Figs. 4, 5 and 6) is one third the magnitude of the magnitude of the first image impedance (ZI).

摘要:
A coupled cavity circuit for a microwave electron tube comprises at least two resonant cavities adjacent to each other. An electron beam tunnel passes through the coupled cavity circuit to allow a beam of electrons to pass through and interact with the electromagnetic energy in the cavities. An iris (55) connecting the adjacent cavities allows electromagnetic energy to flow from one cavity to the next. The iris (55) is generally symmetrical about a perpendicular axis of the electron beam tunnel with the iris (55) having flared ends and a central portion connecting the flared ends. The iris shape causes the iris mode passband to be lower in frequency than the cavity mode passband while still providing broadband frequency response.
摘要:
A resonant cavity (10) arranged for an electron beam to pass therethrough, is made of two spaced apart parallel substantially planar members (11,12) movable with respect to each other in a direction perpendicular to their major surfaces, at least one of said members having a delay line structure (13A-13B) on its inner face within the gap between said two members. Means (e.g. 14) are arranged for moving the members relative to each other so as to vary the spacing between said members, whereby the oscillation frequency is tuned easily. The resonant cavity can be used to realize wide-band extended interaction oscillators and klystron amplifiers.
