Description

A kind of slow wave line that is used for travelling wave tube
Technical field
The invention belongs to the microwave vacuum electronic technology field, specifically, relate to the slow wave line of travelling wave tube.
Background technology
Travelling wave tube is a broadband high-power microwave source device, is widely used in radar communication and Aerospace Satellite communication.Travelling wave tube structural principle sketch map is as depicted in figs. 1 and 2, and this travelling wave tube mainly comprises: electron gun 1, slow wave line 2 (slow wave circuit), beam forming system 3, collector 4, metallic shield shell 5, input waveguide 6 and output waveguide 7.Slow wave line inside has an electron beam channel 8; Beam forming system 3 and metallic shield shell 5 are centered around the periphery of slow wave line successively; Electron gun 1 and collector 4 lay respectively at the two ends of slow wave line, and input waveguide 6 lays respectively at the two ends of slow wave line and the junction of electron gun 1 and collector 4 with output waveguide 7.Electron gun is provided at ELECTRON OF MOTION bundle in the electron beam channel, and slow wave line is the electromagnetic transmission line, and when electromagnetic wave transmitted in slow wave line, its phase velocity was less than the light velocity, and the electromagnetic wave of this moment is commonly referred to the electromagnetism slow wave; Slow wave line commonly used comprises helix slow wave line, coupled cavity slow wave line and folded waveguide slow wave line.Beam forming system provides necessary magnetic field, so that the direction of motion of electron beam does not change.Collector is the final destination of electron beam.Input waveguide and output waveguide are used for the input and output electromagnetic wave.The effect of metallic shield shell is with space and other spatial separation of electron beam and electromagnetic wave motion, so that high vacuum environment to be provided, avoids electron beam to receive air influence and ionization.
The operation principle of travelling wave tube is; When equating basically, the kinetic energy of electron beam will be converted into electromagnetic wave energy when electromagnetic phase velocity in the speed of electron beam and the slow wave line (electromagnetic wave angular frequency and electromagnetic wave in slow wave line during unit of transfer's length the ratio of the change amount of phase place).Electron beam receives electromagnetic wave electric field and the action of a magnetic field; Its direction of motion must change; In order to make electronics be unlikely to stamp slow wave line and metallic shield shell, need certain magnetically confined electron collection extreme direction campaign, this magnetic field is just provided by beam forming system.
The beam forming system of travelling wave tube can be solenoid, uniform magnetic field or periodic permanent magnet beam forming system.Wherein, the periodic permanent magnet beam forming system is to be made up of permanent magnetic material and soft magnetic material, and permanent magnetic material such as SmCo (SmCo) etc. are the one dimension periodic arrangement, between permanent magnetic material, fills like soft magnetic materials such as pure iron.The periodic permanent magnet beam forming system is in light weight, and cost is low, does not need extra energy source device, is the first-selected beam forming system of travelling wave tube therefore.But the magnetic field that the periodic permanent magnet beam forming system can provide is very limited, and far away more from the surface of the permanent magnet of periodic permanent magnet beam forming system, magnetic field is more little.In the travelling wave tube, beam forming system is placed on the metallic shield enclosure, and when the cross sectional dimensions of slow wave line was big, beam forming system will be farther from the center of electron beam motion, the magnetic field of electron beam region will be a little less than.
The tradition travelling wave tube utilizes basic mode work usually.In the space at the slow wave line of metallic shield shell seal place, at synchronization, the distribution on the slow wave line cross section of electromagnetic electric field or magnetic-field component is by the common decision of electromagnetic frequency, slow wave line and metal boundary condition.Can electromagnetic wave be divided into different patterns according to the difference of this distribution, the simplest pattern of field distribution is called basic mode, and all the other patterns are referred to as higher modes.Generally speaking, pattern is different, and wave frequency also is different, and the frequency of basic mode is minimum.Because basic mode and the corresponding to electric field component of electron beam velocity attitude are stronger, and be also strong to the effect of electron beam, interaction efficiency is high, so travelling wave tube utilizes basic mode work usually.
For slow wave line, have only the electromagnetic wave in the special frequency to transmit therein, this special frequency is called as the passband of slow wave line.The electromagnetic wave that is in lower limb on the slow wave line passband is exaggerated easily, and electromagnetic work forms and disturbs to basic mode, causes the travelling wave tube job insecurity, and this phenomenon is called as the band edge vibration.Band edge vibration is in that to use coupling cavity, folded waveguide etc. to have in the travelling wave tube of slow wave line in shape such as open chamber the most serious.
The reasons such as noise that produce owing to electron beam are in travelling wave tube, although amplitude might be very faint, always the higher modes electromagnetic wave exists.If the electromagnetic phase velocity of higher modes equates basically that with the speed of electron beam this higher modes electromagnetic wave will be exaggerated, thereby disturb the electromagnetic work of basic mode, make the travelling wave tube job insecurity.In the travelling wave tube that uses helix as slow wave line, it is very low on certain frequency that this situation shows as power output, often is called as " power hole " phenomenon.
When the vibration of " power hole " or band edge occurring, the electromagnetic wave of competing with basic mode electromagnetism phase of wave all is the higher modes electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetic frequency of higher modes and basic mode are inequality.Therefore; If the metallic shield shell is replaced with a structure with filter function, it is extraneous that the higher modes electromagnetic wave can be arrived through this structural transmission, thereby filtered by filter; The basic mode electromagnetic wave is then unaffected, just can solve " power hole " and band edge oscillation problem.Because the effect of metallic shield shell provides vacuum environment, therefore require this filter structure that vacuum environment should be able to be provided.
Photonic crystal is the one type of brand-new artificial material that grows up at optical field in the recent period.Like Fig. 3, Fig. 4, shown in Figure 5; Photonic crystal is by two or more materials (two or more media; Perhaps a kind of medium and a kind of metal, or multiple medium and multiple metal) alternately occur by certain way in the space and arrangement forms, generally; Spatially being periodic distribution by a kind of material becomes prospect material 11, and another kind of material then background material 12 occurs becoming as the background of this material.Direction vector by prospect material 11 periodic arrangement can be divided into one dimension, two and three dimensions photonic crystal.The characteristics of photonic crystal are to have photon band gap, and promptly photonic crystal has filter action, and the electromagnetic wave in the special frequency can not see through photonic crystal and propagate, and this special frequency is called as photon band gap.
