本文在大量阅读和研究国内外相关文献的基础上,在导师的悉心指导下,对基波和谐波倍频回旋速调管进行创新性研究,取得了如下的一些新成果和新结论。对回旋速调管的设计研究具有重要的意义。
1.对工作模为TE_(02)模的群聚腔绕射Q值随腔长成准周期性变化的研究。研究表明TE_(02)模与TE_(01)模群聚腔相比,端面处的相位和幅值以及绕射Q值和模式转化都有很大不同,且TE_(02)模群聚腔绕射Q值随腔长的变化成准周期性变化。并由此特点成功解决了二次谐波回旋速调管漂移段不能截止工作频率的TE_(01)模,从而引起的腔体间高频串扰的问题。这种研究对基波TE_(02)模工作也有相当大的价值。
2.对回旋速调管输入耦合器模式纯度的研究,提出了一种模式纯度计算方法。回旋速调管输入耦合器国内外都有相关研究和报道,但对模式纯度只是一些定性的分析。本文首次提出了一种模式纯度计算方法,并对回旋速调管输入耦合器模式纯度进行定量计算,并对耦合缝的分布及几何参数等参量的变化对输入耦合器的模式纯度、频率、Q值和内腔储能等进行研究,成功设计了基波回旋速调管输入耦合器,并进行了试验冷测,结果基本一致。
3.对预群聚电子注输出腔注波互作用的优化研究。利用非线性非自洽注波互作用理论优化计算,研究了预群聚基波和二次谐波输出腔注波互作用。进一步的研究将会极大的促进基波和二次谐波回旋速调管的研究及设计。
4.对二次谐波倍频、基波TE_(01)模和基波TE_(02)模回旋速调管的PIC模拟优化。利用对TE_(02)模工作特性的研究,成功设计了基波和谐波倍频回旋速调管高频系统。PIC优化结果表明:所设计的70GHz二次谐波倍频回旋速调管的效率在高于国外相关PIC模拟报道的前提下,带宽是其报道的两倍多;所设计的Ka波段基波回旋速调管的效率达到50.6%和48.3%,带宽达到1.5%和1.9%。
The frequency-doubling gyroklystron amplifiers not only can produce high pulsepower and high average power in millimeter and sub-millimeter wave bands withmoderate bandwidth, but also because of the harmonic and frequency-doubling property,it needs very low magnetic field, low frequency and power of the input signal. And thismade it become a good candidate sourse of high power THz microwave. So greatmilitary countries pay attention to development of frequency-doubling gyroklystronamplifier's research, and spend a lot to develop them. Its research had become the frontand hotspot in the field of high power microwave and THz sourse.
In this paper, the single and multiple abrupt section were studied usingmode-matching technique and scattering matrix formulation. A high frequency circuit ofa four cavities 70-GHz second-harmonic frequency-doubling gyroklystron has beenstudied in this method. The problem of mode conversion of the TE_(02) mode is studied.A effective method is used to reduce the RF crosstalk of the 70GHz TE_(01) mode betweencavities for drift section not cut off.
The input coupler of gyroklystron is simulated and optimized by HFSS. A method,which combine theory and simulation, is proposed to solve the problem of calculatingthe purity of modes in coupler. The influence of the number and position of slots to thecoupling efficiency and purity of the modes were studied.
The ballistic bunching theory was used to calculate and optimize the nonlinearproperty of the output cavity of gyroklystron. The results show that the prebunchingcould improve the interaction efficiency, even on second harmonic, the high efficiencycould achieved also.
A 70GHz second-harmonic frequency-doubling gyroklystron with four cavities hasbeen studied. The Q factor and mode conversion of the bunching cavities were studiedin detail with field matching analysis to reduce the RF crosstalk of the 70GHz TE_(01)mode between cavities. And the RF circuit was designed and optimized to enhanceoperating bandwidth and electron efficiency. And then a 70GHz second-harmonic frequency-doubling gyroklystron was designed. 256kW output power, 44dB saturationgain, 28% electron efficiency can be obtained with about 160MHz instantaneousbandwidth were obtain by PIC simulation at 70-kV, 13A electron beam.
The two kinds of first harmonic gyroklystron which working in TE_(01) mode and TE_(02)mode was simulated too. When working in TE_(01) mode, 406kW output power, 46dBsaturation gain, 48.3% electron efficiency can be obtained by PIC simulation at 70-kV,12A electron beam. While working in TE_(02) mode, 708kW output power, 47dBsaturation gain, 50.6% electron efficiency can be obtained by PIC simulation at 70-kV,20A electron beam.
