Abstract

A novel design methodology of a TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{21}$ /TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{01}$ mode converter for gyrotron traveling-wave tubes (gyro-TWTs) is presented in this article. This type of mode converter is characterized by its broad bandwidth. The proposed mode converter consists of two-mode conversion sections (TE $^{\mathrm {\pmb {\circ }}}_{10}$ –TE $^{\mathrm {\pmb {\circ }}}_{20}$ and TE $^{\mathrm {\pmb {\circ }}}_{20}$ –TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{21}$ /TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{01}$ ) and an overmoded coupling section. The feeding TE $^{\mathrm {\pmb {\circ }}}_{10}$ mode is first converted into the TE $^{\mathrm {\pmb {\circ }}}_{20}$ mode, then coupled by using an overmoded coupling structure, and finally converted into the desired TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{21}$ /TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{01}$ mode. For verification, two $H$ -band (220–325 GHz) back-to-back joined TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{21}$ /TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{01}$ mode converter prototypes were microfabricated and measured. The cold test showed that a measured 3-/2-dB transmission bandwidth of 58.9 GHz (235.2–294.1 GHz)/56.3 GHz (235.2–291.5 GHz) for the TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{21}$ /TE $^{\mathrm {\circ }}_{01}$ mode converter was obtained.
用于亚太赫兹回旋管行波管的宽带TE°21/TE°01模式转换器的研究
本文提出了一种用于回旋管行波管的TE $^{\ mathm {\circ}}_{21}$ /TE $^{\ mathm {\circ}}_{01}$模式变换器的新设计方法。这种变换器的特点是带宽宽。所提出的模式转换器由两个模式转换节(TE $^{\mathrm {\pmb {\circ}}}_{10}$ -TE $^{\mathrm {\pmb {\circ}}}_{20}$和TE $^{\mathrm {\circ}}_{20}$ -TE $^{\mathrm {\circ}}_{21}$ /TE $^{\mathrm {\circ}}_{01}$)和一个过模耦合节组成。输入的TE $^{\mathrm {\pmb {\circ}}}_{10}$模式首先转换为TE $^{\mathrm {\pmb {\circ}}}_{20}$模式,然后使用过模耦合结构进行耦合,最后转换为所需的TE $^{\mathrm {\circ}}_{21}$ /TE $^{\mathrm {\circ}}_{01}$模式。为了验证,两个$H$频段(220-325 GHz)背对背连接TE $^{\ mathm {\circ}}_{21}$ /TE $^{\ mathm {\circ}}_{01}$模式转换器原型进行了微加工和测量。冷态测试结果表明,TE $^{\ mathm {\circ}}_{21}$ /TE $^{\ mathm {\circ}}_{01}$模式变换器获得58.9 GHz (235.2 ~ 294.1 GHz)/56.3 GHz (235.2 ~ 291.5 GHz)的3-/2-dB传输带宽。
