However, these initial experiments were designed primarily to demonstrate feasibility and validate the RF dispersion relationship. This prototype has not demonstrated the efficient extraction of microwave power into waveguides. A novel approach to power extraction using a coaxial adaptation of the “all cavity extractor” is currently under development at the University of Michigan. The Coaxial All Cavity Extractor (CACE) is a highly compact axial extraction technique that is specifically designed to accommodate the planar slow wave structures of the RPM. Concepts and design of the extractor are presented as well as a new experimental prototype RPM-CACE, a 12-cavity device simulated to yield 450 MW with 60% efficiency at 1.9 GHz.","PeriodicalId":88890,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference.
