Q波段低磁场高效率相对论返波管的模拟仿真

Simulation of high-efficiency relativistic backward wave oscillator in Q-band with low magnetic field

  • 摘要: 为了实现高功率微波源的小型化,提出了一种Q波段低磁场工作的高效率相对论返波管,其结构主要由谐振腔反射器与两段周期性慢波结构组成,慢波结构采用同轴结构,基于同轴结构特性可以选取合适的内径,提高功率容量的同时降低了器件尺寸小带来的空间电荷效应。通过优化仿真,研究了不同的二极管电压、引导磁场对于微波输出功率的影响,同时通过调节阴阳极间距AK获得了最佳电子束阻抗。最终在引导磁场0.9 T、二极管电压为400 kV、束流3 kA的条件下,获得了470 MW的微波输出功率,效率约为39.1%,微波的中心频率为45 GHz。

     

    Abstract: This paper proposes a compact Q-band relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO) operating at low magnetic fields, aiming to advance the miniaturization of high-power microwave (HPM) sources. The device consists of a resonant cavity reflector and two sections of periodic slow-wave structures (SWS), designed in a coaxial configuration. By exploiting the inherent characteristics of the coaxial structure, an optimal inner diameter was selected to enhance power handling capacity while mitigating space charge effects induced by the reduced device size. Through comprehensive simulation and optimization, the device achieved a microwave output power of 470 MW with an efficiency of 39.1% under operational conditions of a guiding magnetic field (0.9 T), a diode voltage of 400 kV, and a beam current of 3 kA. The generated microwave signal exhibited a central frequency of 45 GHz.
