摘要:
A coupled cavity traveling wave tube has periodic permanent magnet (PPM) RF cavity structures, each of which has a plurality of permanent magnets placed substantially equidistant from a central axis, and which are outside the extent of a plurality of electron beam tunnels arranged substantially equidistant from the central axis and within the extents of the plurality of permanent magnets. Each coupled cavity RF structure is formed by adjacent ferrous polepieces and a cylindrical wall which is beyond the extent of one or more coupling apertures which couple RF energy from one coupled cavity structure to an adjacent RF cavity.

Microwave oscillators and amplifiers which utilize a superconducting slow-wave circuit. The slow circuit is made from materials which exhibit superconductivity at relatively high critical temperatures. The slow wave circuit is integral with the device's vacuum housing. Coolant exterior to the vacuum housing maintains the circuit in the superconducting state. The slow-wave circuit, which protrudes into the vacuum housing provides modulation of an electron beam which traverses the interior of the vacuum housing. Output power is ultimately extracted from the slow wave circuit.

The thickness of the fingers of the line is modified, while the pitch of the fingers is kept constant, so that the capacitance between two successive fingers varies substantially proportionally to the product P.sub.HF .times.dI/dx, in which P.sub.HF represents the microwave power at any point x in the line and dI/dx the gradient, as a function of the position x on the line, of the current I delivered by the voltage supply creating a continuous electrical field E.sub.o between the electrodes of the tube. The values of P.sub.HF and of I are measured on the tube having a constant coupling resistance or are calculated by a computer program.
摘要:
Noise in reentrant-stream crossed-field amplifiers is suspected of being generated by electrons re-entering the interaction region with large amplitude cycloidal motion near the slow-wave circuit. Means to increase the electric field in a portion of the drift region preceding the circuit lowers the noise, presumably by collecting these electrons. The field may be increased by decreasing the spacing between cathode and drift electrode or by applying a bias voltage on an insulated electrode.
摘要:
A microwave oscillator is provided having electron emissive means and a first surrounding resonant structure. The first structure is fabricated of a material capable of emitting secondary electrons. A second resonant structure surrounds the secondary electron emitter and microwave energy is generated by the interaction between the electrons and currents induced in the structure. The high degree of isolation between the first oscillator section and the second amplifying section results in the generation of stable oscillations relatively free of effects of load variations.
