Abstract
This letter presents the experimental validation of a dual-frequency high-power microwave (HPM) source utilizing a relativistic transit-time oscillator (RTTO), which achieves simultaneous output in the X-band and Ka-band. To enhance measurement precision and signal isolation between the dual-frequency HPM outputs, a band-pass filter was introduced into the Ka-band measurement system. The device exhibits a compact nested structure and operates stably at a voltage of 440 kV with a low guiding magnetic field of 0.6 T, while generating output powers of 1.1 GW in the X-band and 0.25 GW in the Ka-band, with pulse widths of 80 ns and 28 ns, respectively. The generated microwave modes have been confirmed as symmetric TM

by conducting mode analysis, validating stable operation of the device. The experimental results substantiate that the device efficiently generates dual-frequency HPMs under low magnetic field conditions, presenting distinct advantages in compactness and lightweight dual-frequency HPM source design. Future work will focus on improving the device’s stability and output efficiency, thereby enhancing its practicality and reliability.
