Typical temperature specifications for dispenser cathodes range from 950/spl deg/Cb to 1100/spl deg/Cb with 1 to 2 percent tolerance. With current techniques, tolerance and repeatability of measurements are impacted by variables in construction materials, material surface conditions, test equipment and arrangements, and temperature measurement when dispenser cathodes are vacuum thermal tested. Dispenser cathodes are constructed from various refractory metals and oxide materials which present certain unique properties and associated unique uncertainties. This paper discusses the manufacturing processes and materials contributing to these temperature variables, including emitter surface conditions, surface finish variability on the cathode body and heat shields, heater wire resistance, potting density, and temperature measurement error. The data includes sample sets of cathode test data demonstrating the cumulative effects of the variables, error factors, and specific parameters evaluated in the paper.","PeriodicalId":283559,"journal":{"name":"Fifth IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IEEE Cat.

The initial focus of this program is on the development of Ka-band TWTs producing 10 W of RF power. These devices would potentially be used as RF sources for phased array antennas. This requires innovative TWT designs, which result in improved repeatability, increased yield and reliability, and reduced cost over existing Ka-band devices. To do this, the batch nature of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication techniques is ideal. However, many TWT interaction circuits, such as the conventional helix, are not compatible with MEMS techniques. Thus, Calabazas Creek Research, Inc.

To do this, computer modeling of the electron-wave interaction was carried out by the particle-in-cell (PIC) method, including a spectral approach that permits us to study the excitation mechanism of unwanted modes in a wide frequency range. Computer modeling of the electron-wave interaction is carried out in 2D approximation and takes into account all the interaction space of the magnetron (multi-periodical model). The obtained results connected with the computer modeling of the mode competition in magnetrons allow us to make clear the physical mechanism and features of this phenomena.","PeriodicalId":283559,"journal":{"name":"Fifth IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IEEE Cat.
