The frequency lock range is inversely proportional to the product of the square root of the realized injection gain and the total loop length, while the characteristic time to acquire lock is directly proportional to that product. Loop phase variations in a lock condition are also magnified by the square root of the injection gain. The evolution of a dual mode X-band Injected Beam Crossed-Field Amplifier (IBCFA), designed for use as a multimode coherent radar transmitter, is discussed. Measurements of pulsed excess noise contributed by the CFA are presented. CFA excess noise is down better than 115 dBc/Hz at 2 kHz from a pulsed spectral line and that noise emanates from the beam supply. Excess pulsed noise with positive feedback and injection-locking increases in direct proportion to the injection gain.","PeriodicalId":164556,"journal":{"name":"1978 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123867673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method is based on generation of electron hole pairs at varying depths by an electron beam of variable energy. Modeling of the current flow equaitons is used to predict the dependance of collected current at the junction as a function of electron beam energy. Comparison of these model calculations to the experimental data shows that for the device studied the lifetime near the heavily doped surface is 10-8sec increasing as - 0.4 power of the net doping. This technique is complementary to emitter gain measurements which are most sensitive to lifetime near the junction.","PeriodicalId":164556,"journal":{"name":"1978 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127027977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with increased demands made upon the total performance, reliability and efficiency of electron guns, mechanical design considerations have become very important, often requiring complex analysis and design to obtain satisfactory results. To aid in the understanding and development of modern and improved electron guns, certain sophisticated computer analytical techniques have been developed. These techniques provide insight into a detailed knowledge of electron gun mechanical performance, information on developing efficient design, and a means by which complex system problems can be solved. Moreover, it allows this to be done in a timely and cost effective manner. This paper will present a description of these analytical techniques and how they may be used to understand and improve electron gun thermal/structural performance.","PeriodicalId":164556,"journal":{"name":"1978 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127069620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
