摘要
在研究0.14 THz折叠波导行波管中,提出一种三段相速跳变的设计,使得电子能够在输出段与行波场发生速度再同步,从而提高了电子工作效率。根据色散公式,找到一种影响相速变化的结构因素。通过优化设计进行大信号程序计算,在电压14.95 k V、工作电流30 m A时,与未采用相速变化的结构相比,140 GHz时功率提高了0.84 W,效率提高了9.13%;在142 GHz时功率提高了0.88 W,效率提高了10.4%;-1 d B带宽由原来的5 GHz提高到7 GHz,扩展了行波管的带宽,提高了电子与波的互作用效率。
The design of three sections phase velocity taper is put forward in 0.14 THz folded waveguide Traveling Wave Tubes(TWT) research. It can maintain beam-traveling wave velocity synchronization again in output section of interaction circuit and improve the beam operating efficiency. A structure parameter impacting on phase velocity change is found and optimized by slow wave structure dispersion equation. After optimizing design, a large signal program calculation is performed under operating voltage 14.95 k V and current 30 m A. Compared with the structure without phase velocity taper, the efficiency is improved by 9.13% in 140 GHz, and the output power in improved by 0.84 W. The efficiency is improved by 10.4% in 142 GHz, and the output power is improved by 0.88 W.-1 d B bandwidth is improved to 7 GHz from 5 GHz. The design improves the bandwidth and beam-traveling wave work efficiency in D band folded waveguide traveling wave tubes.
