Book Description
The generation of microwave radiation at gigahertz frequencies in high-voltage pulsed-power diodes has been investigated with electromagnetic particle simulations. Pulsed power in the form of a 0.5-1.0 MV, TEM wave is fed to the diode via a 5-cm diameter cylindrical stalk onto which a 30-cm diameter cathode has been mounted. Located some 3 to 5 cm in front of the cathode is a foil anode grid. As the TEM wave propagates between the stalk and an outer cylindrical cage (70-cm diameter) a stream of electrons are emitted off the stalk when the local electric field exceeds 200 kV/cm. This flow is then magnetically insulated and confined by the induced B/sub theta/ fields resulting from the 25- to 50-kA current flow within the stalk. Convex shaping of the cathode surface allows the emitted electrons to form a virtual cathode beyond the grid, then phase bunch to produce narrow bandwidth 1-GHz microwaves over an area equal to that of the cathode. The electromagnetic radiation from the dipole-like electron motions centered on the grid, which follow closely the classical Barkhausen-Kurz description, are reported.

Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000112373
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
Written at the graduate level, Generation and Application of High Power Microwaves discusses the basic physics of the generation of microwave and radiofrequency waves in the megawatt power range and the application of these ideas to a range of devices such as klystrons, gyrotrons, and free electron lasers. The book also contains chapters covering the transmission of the power through waveguides and the problems associated with mode conversion in transmission lines. The main application area covered is the heating and current drive in tokamaks and other devices for research into controlled nuclear fusion. Other applications of high power microwave technology are not neglected, and among those discussed are multiple charged ion and soft x-ray sources, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, advanced materials processing, millimeter wave radar, and supercolliders.

State of the Art in High-power Microwaves

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 7
Book Description
In the two decades since the presentation of the first experimental results, the study of high-power microwaves (HPM) has aimed at the production of microwave pulses with ever higher peak power and ever larger energy content. Drawing on the electrical pulsed power and relativistic electron beam technologies, a mix of sources have produced power levels in excess of 1 GW and pulse energies of tens to a thousand joules in both the centimeter and millimeter wavelength ranges. The potential for military applications of such powerful bursts became a major driving force for substantial research programs -- and considerable advancements -- in the United States and the former Soviet Union. The end of the Cold War and a reexamination of national priorities has diminished the momentum of military HPM development in these countries. Nevertheless, the field hasn't reached its limits, in capability or applicability, and one sees at present a diffusion of the technology across national borders. As examples, one sees commitments in the UK, France, and China to national programs aimed at the exploration of the defensive capabilities of HPM. The purpose of this paper will be to examine the state of the art in HPM at this juncture. We will look at: (1) Peak power production; (2) Pulse energy production and the phenomenon of pulse shortening at high peak power levels; (3) Coherent phasing of multiple high-power sources; (4) Compact HPM source development; and (5) Repetitive operation of sources. We will also briefly mention some emerging applications and offer some concluding thoughts.
