Abstract
This article presents the design of RF interaction assembly of a gyrotron proposed for generating millimeter waves at three distinct frequencies: 42 GHz, 85 GHz, and 94 GHz. The gyrotron is designed to deliver an output power exceeding 200 kW at each frequency, with an efficiency of approximately 40%. These frequencies are chosen to support various RF heating and sensing requirements of nuclear fusion tokamak systems. RF behavior analysis carried out in this work includes: mode-selection procedure, cold cavity analysis, single-mode analysis and time-dependent multi-mode analysis. The analyses and design are performed using our in-house software package Gyrotron Design Studio (GDS V. 2024). Comprehensive numerical simulations are carried out to design the interaction cavity geometry and determine the nominal beam parameters for supporting multi-frequency operation.
本文介绍了一种用于产生三种不同频率(42 GHz、85 GHz和94 GHz)毫米波的回旋管的射频相互作用组件的设计。回旋管的设计是在每个频率上提供超过200千瓦的输出功率,效率约为40%。选择这些频率是为了支持核聚变托卡马克系统的各种射频加热和传感要求。本工作中进行的射频行为分析包括:模式选择程序、冷腔分析、单模分析和时变多模分析。分析和设计使用我们的内部软件包Gyrotron design Studio (GDS V. 2024)进行。进行了全面的数值模拟,设计了相互作用腔的几何形状,确定了支持多频率工作的标称光束参数。
