This TWT, named TL 2500, was designed for geostationary payloads with an overall output power of several kW. The RF output of the TWT is done with a WR340 ¼ height waveguide interface which will be used already on these payloads for the high power network up to the antenna. The waveguide output of the TWT is a very robust design without any dielectric inside, similar to [1]. It was tested successfully with more than 7 dB multipaction margin [2], fully compatible to ESA requirements [3]. Simultaneously the efficiency was improved significantly which can be used to increase additional the overall payload output power. Coming from a well-known heritage TWT TL2240 with typical output power of 250W, the new TL 2500 will reduce significantly the complexity of an S-band high power payload. With a reduced number of needed channel amplifiers, linearizers and power combining networks this TWT will give a significant mass and cost improvement to the customers.","PeriodicalId":88890,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference.

The initial implementation of the 2D large-signal codes TESLA-CC and TESLA-FW has been generalized in such way to create a single algorithm with modular extensions that can be applied to the modeling of coupled-cavity or serpentine/folded-waveguide types of slow-wave structures. This new modular code is called TESLA-TWT and, in general, it can be extended in the future to support other types of the slow-wave structures. As a next step, TESLA-TWT has been extended for parallel operation, which makes it perfectly applicable to the modeling of “hybrid” multi-stage devices.","PeriodicalId":88890,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference.

In this work, a 3D conformal finite-difference time-domain (CFDTD) particle-in-cell (PIC) method has been developed to perform a hot test of gyrotron cavity interaction. With a tailored gyrobeam emission, not only forward wave but also backward wave interactions have been observed in an MIT gyrotron cavity, consistent with a recent experiment at MIT. Our preliminary results show that the 3D CFDTD PIC method could provide an alternative modeling tool for studying the gyrotron cavity interaction for further improving efficiency and studying mode competition.","PeriodicalId":88890,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference.

The magnetron model is based the characteristics of experiment and manufacture chart on a 2.45GHz cooker type CW magnetron. To achieve high performance of a superconducting radio frequency (SRF) acceleration cavity with an electron beam loading, the magnetron's low level radio frequency (LLRF) control has been studied in two lock loops. In the frequency lock loop, the characterized anode V-I curve, output power (the tube electronic efficiency) and frequency dependence to the anode current (pushing by Vaughan model) and the Rieke diagram (frequency pulling by the reactive load) are simulated. The magnetic field B and anode voltage V in Hartree condition are satisfied and the effect of filament heater power to the frequency lock is also included. In the phase lock loop, the Adler equation governing injection phase stability is included in this study. The control of the magnet trim-coil power-supply and of the anode voltage modulation-switching power-supply has been also simulated to achieve the amplitude modulation. The result of linear responses to the amplitude and phase of SRF cavity will be presented in this paper. The requirement of LLRF control will be given by this result.","PeriodicalId":88890,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference.
