摘要: 为满足现代信息化战争对超宽带行波管的需求,对2~18 GHz超宽带行波管的高频慢波结构进行了研究分析。在传统宽带行波管的基础上引入非翼片加载段的正常色散特性,首次实现2~18 GHz 超宽带高频慢波结构设计,最大带宽达到9∶1。同时输出端螺旋线螺距调整为正渐变分布,能够进一步优化低频段二次谐波抑制比,提高高频段饱和输出功率。结果表明,全频带的基波输出功率达到100 W,二次谐波抑制比优于−3 dBc,2 GHz频点二次谐波抑制比优于−5 dBc,为超宽带大功率器件的设计提供了理论基础。Abstract: The high-frequency slow-wave structure of 2−18 GHz ultra-wideband traveling-wave tube (TWT) is studied and analyzed to meet the requirements of modern information warfare for TWT. Based on the traditional wideband TWT, the positive dispersion characteristics of non-fin loading section were introduced to realize the 2−18 GHz ultra-wideband high-frequency slow wave structure, with the maximum bandwidth of 9∶1. Results show that the output power of fundamental wave is up to 100 W, the second harmonic suppression ratio is better than −3 dBc in the full frequency band, and the second harmonic suppression ratio is better than −5 dBc at 2 GHz, which provides a theoretical basis for the design of ultra-wideband high-power devices. At the same time, the spiral pitch at the output end is adjusted to a positive gradient distribution to further optimize the low frequency secondary wave suppression ratio and improve the saturation output power of the high frequency band.
