The evaluation is done by comparing output density uniformity, ion production power cost in eV/ion, microwave coupling efficiency and absorbed microwave power density in Watts/cm.","PeriodicalId":254741,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 21st International Conference on Plasma Sciences (ICOPS)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114572617","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}

In this paper the authors investigate the effects of the distance of the waveguide step from the anode on the microwave output and the dominant microwave frequency via the two-dimensional, relativistic, electromagnetic, particle-in-cell code. The parameters of the vircator in this simulation study are: a negative constant voltage of 270 kV applied to the cathode, a constant injection current of 7.3 kA at the cathode surface, 0.46 cm for the cathode to anode distance, 1.3 cm cathode radius, 12.5 cm for the drift tube length, and the radii of the front and the rear section of the drift tube are 4 and 5 cm, respectively. Simulation results show that the dominant microwave frequencies are concentrated in two bands centered roughly at 8.24 and 11 GHz. As the distance of the waveguide step from the anode increases from 0 to 7 cm, the dominant microwave frequency hops between lower- and higher-frequency bands. Among each band, the frequency gradually decreases with increasing distance of the waveguide step. They have demonstrated qualitatively, through time-domain analysis of open cavities containing no sources, the dependencemore » of the dominant microwave frequency on the distance of the waveguide step. The output powers observed in the simulation are greatly enhanced at the waveguide steps of, roughly, 0.8, 1.7, 3.7--4.3, and 7.0 cm from the anode with respective dominant-mode excitation of TM{sub 01}, TM{sub 02}, TM{sub 03}, and TM{sub 04}.« less","PeriodicalId":254741,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 21st International Conference on Plasma Sciences (ICOPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129035254","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}
