Abstract:
Stable sheet electron beam transport or focusing is critical for the sheet electron beam vacuum electronic device (VED) which is a kind of promising high power device in millimeter and sub-millimeter wave band. This paper proposes a periodic elliptical solenoid structure for the transport of high-elliptical sheet electron beams. The magnetic field of the elliptical solenoid is analyzed, and the conditions for the stable transport of sheet beams in the structure are derived. Particle-in-cell simulations are conducted and verify the conditions.
