Abstract

Four prototype crossatron devices were evaluated with respect to their performance and lifetime in high-repetition-rate, high-average-power pulse modulators that had previously been equipped with hydrogen thyratrons. Various grid-drive, keep-alive power levels and triggering schemes were used in the tests. Switch parameters such as trigger time, anode fall time, jitter recovery time, peak di/dt, switch efficiency, and the gas pumping effect of the discharge were observed. One crossatron prototype was also subjected to lifetime tests that accumulated tens of billions of pulses. Lifetime data are compared to those of various models tested similarly. It is concluded that the crossatron can be used as an efficient, low-jitter, high-repetition-rate closing switch for high-average-power modulators. The lifetime of the switch appears to be on a par with several thyratrons of similar rating.<>

交控开关在高重复率、高平均功率调制器中替代闸流管

在先前配备氢闸流管的高重复率、高平均功率脉冲调制器中，对四个原型交叉电子器件的性能和寿命进行了评估。试验中使用了各种电网驱动、保活功率水平和触发方案。观察了触发时间、阳极下降时间、抖动恢复时间、峰值di/dt、开关效率和放电抽气效果等开关参数。一个交叉电子样机也接受了累积了数百亿脉冲的寿命测试。将寿命数据与类似测试的各种模型的数据进行比较。结果表明，该交叉子可作为高平均功率调制器的高效、低抖动、高重复率合闸开关。该开关的寿命似乎与几个类似额定值的闸流管相当。
