At CPI, we have successfully developed and delivered several high-power gyrotrons at 84 GHz, 140 GHz and 110 GHz. These gyrotrons deliver power levels in the range from 500 kW to 1 MW. To further reduce system cost and improve reliability we are currently developing and building a prototype 110 GHz, 1.5 MW gyrotron that extends the power-handling capabilities of the earlier 110 GHz, 1 MW design. The basic design of the 110 GHz, 1.5 MW gyrotron is similar to that of the earlier 110 GHz, 1 MW devices, but it utilizes a depressed-collector configuration.","PeriodicalId":283559,"journal":{"name":"Fifth IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IEEE Cat.

Emission spread is the deviation of measured emission current from values calculated using the Richardson-Dushmann emission equation with a single best-fit effective work function value (TL curves). Examination of emission data taken from various currently-available thermionic cathodes leads to the conclusion that emission spread effects resulting from the cathode work function distribution (WFD) are significant throughout the entire TL emission region and cannot accurately be represented by a single-value or narrow WFD. Results of measured emission current spread for representative oxide-coated, and various types of dispenser cathodes are presented to illustrate these effects. It is particularly important to minimize emission spread for cathodes used in gyrotron applications. An example of determining gyrotron cathode quality and emission spread is also presented.","PeriodicalId":283559,"journal":{"name":"Fifth IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IEEE Cat.

The interaction between a 30 kV axis-encircling electron beam with a drive signal in the tapered waveguide of the input stage modulates the electron beam at the fundamental cyclotron harmonic, then the third harmonic component of the modulated beam current is chosen to be extracted in the tapered output stage. In the proof-of-principle experiment, X-band drive signals from 10.6 to 12 GHz are multiplied by three times to be Ka-band output frequencies from 31.8 to 36 GHz, showing consistent results with theoretical predictions when a 30 kV, 160 mA electron beam is used.","PeriodicalId":283559,"journal":{"name":"Fifth IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IEEE Cat.

Vacuum tubes (e.g. high power triode or tetrode) are used as active elements of the high-power amplifier classes 'B' and 'C' into the radio broadcasting transmitter. A standard goal in the balance of power analysis of an HFHPTA is to find optimal operating conditions (maximum output power with high efficiency) causing long service life for active elements. The principle of the injection of one or two harmonic signals into the drive and/or output carrier signal was used in order to improve power balance. The balance of power analysis of HFHPTA with composite drive and output signal obtained by the injection of two harmonics (N and P) into the basic carrier signal (M=1) is presented in this paper.

To generate chaos, the TWT amplifier is made to operate in a highly nonlinear regime by recirculating a fraction of the TWT output power back to the input in a delayed feedback configuration. The system can transition into a chaotic state by varying the feedback attenuation and phase. Additionally, a drive signal provides a constant external force to the system. Thus, the experimental system behaves like a forced nonlinear oscillator. The study illuminates the different transitions to chaos that result from the choice of feedback filter and other parameters such as the drive signal frequency or intensity and the setting of the phase shifter in the feedback circuit.","PeriodicalId":283559,"journal":{"name":"Fifth IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IEEE Cat.
