Beam-Shaping PEC Mirror Phase Corrector Design

Abstract

The Perfect Electric Conductor (PEC) mirror phase corrector plays an important role in the beam-shaping mirror system design for Quasi-Optical (QO) mode converter (launcher) in the sub-THz high-power gyrotron. In this article, both the Geometry Optical (GO) method and the phase gradient method have been presented for the PEC mirror phase corrector design. The advantages and disadvantages are discussed for both methods. An efficient algorithm has been proposed for the phase gradient method.
