20-Mw Pulsed Amplifying Klystron Operating in Positive Feedback Mode
The results of investigation of the regenerative oscillation amplification mode and the selfoscillation synchronization mode for the power pulsed amplifying positive-feedback klystron are reported. In Ref. there was described the autogenerator on the KUY-12 pulsed amplifying klystron, used for feeding the accelerating sections of the electron linac. To enhance the self-oscillation frequency stability, a high-quality resonator is introduced into the feedback circuit. This however results in noticeable increase in the oscillation growth time with respect to anode pulse. The investigation results of the KUY-12 operating either in the oscillation regeneration mode or in the self-oscillation frequency synchronization mode are presented.
Synchronization of pulsed oscillators
It is shown that driven pulsed oscillators behave in a manner very similar to driven CW oscillators. Simple criteria are given which allow one to decide easily from the frequency spectrum if the oscillators are locked or not.
Simulation study of high power microwave generation by virtual cathode oscillation in coaxial vircator
Summary form only given, as follows. We have numerically simulated the high power microwave generation by virtual cathode oscillation in a coaxial vircator with 3 dimensional PIC code Magic. It is noted that the coaxial vircator has the advantage of an enhancement of power efficiency and gaining of narrow bandwidth frequency. The study is focused on the design of a diode structure for a coaxial vircator suitable for Chundoong IREB pulser (Max. 600 kV, 85 kA, 60 ns). It consists of a center annular cathode, a cylindrical meshed-anode and a reflector. The simulation results showed that the coaxial vircator can indeed be operated at the selected frequency with the narrow bandwidth and the microwave output power strongly depends on the position and geometry of the reflector. From this simulation results we expect that the maximum microwave output power will be obtained by the reflector of 4 cm in width and also 4 cm in distance away from the IREB, where the resonant frequency of microwave from coaxial vircator is simulated to be 6.577 GHz.
