High average power magnetrons operating in the vicinity of 915 MHz have long been used in many industrial heating applications, and have recently been considered for various military applications. Some of these applications, including cases where it is required to drive resonances, require that the magnetrons be tunable. Based upon results from a previous CTL prototype which attained moderate tunability, MRC has designed an improved tuning mechanism which achieves a tuning range approaching 8.5% and, unlike the original tube, is expected to achieve this tuning range at the 250 kW peak power level.","PeriodicalId":283559,"journal":{"name":"Fifth IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IEEE Cat.

Exploring the monotron concept, the present paper describes a triple-beam TM/sub 040/, 6.7 GHz monotron where each beam is injected into the resonant cavity at 80 A current and 10 keV energy. At this injection energy, a maximal conversion efficiency of 18.5 % is predicted for optimum cavity dimensions. To verify the efficiency predicted by 1D theory, as well as to examine the viability of a triple-beam TM/sub 040/ monotron as a high-power microwave source, a particle-in-cell simulation is carried out by using the electromagnetic, PIC code KARAT.","PeriodicalId":283559,"journal":{"name":"Fifth IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IEEE Cat.
