In this experiment, we observed that the microwave power has been dependent upon the A-K gap distance, where A-K gap has been varied from 4 mm to 10 mm. The maximum microwave power is observed to be 240 MW, whose efficiency is about 3.45%, at the AK gap distance of 4 mm. Also the microwave frequencies are measured to be 5.7 GHz from combination of coupled line band pass filter with 1 GHz band-gap and dispersive delay line. It is noted that and this measured frequency is in good agreement with that of simulation.

We focus primarily on IM3 (third-order intermodulation) suppression for two-tone drive since the IM3s, being closest to the fundamentals, are the main concern in a communication system. Two primary techniques investigated are second harmonic injection and IM3 injection. These involve injecting amplitude and phase optimized harmonic and IM3 signal respectively, to suppress the inherently generated IM3 at the output of the TWT. We also propose a scheme based on simultaneous injection of both second harmonic and IM3 that offers the prospect of eliminating the need for precise phase control of the former two schemes.","PeriodicalId":203178,"journal":{"name":"4th IEEE International Conference on Vacuum Electronics, 2003","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132345542","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}
