Description

High-frequency structure of band-shaped beam klystron and method for testing and adjusting characteristic parameters of resonant cavity of high-frequency structure
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to microwave and millimeter wave electric vacuum devices, and in particular to a high-frequency structure of a band-shaped beam klystron for microwave and millimeter wave electric vacuum devices and a method for testing and adjusting characteristic parameters of a resonant cavity thereof.
Background
The klystron has been developed from the original simple dual-cavity klystron to the currently commonly adopted multi-gap multi-cavity structural scheme, wherein cavity forms comprise a re-entry cavity, a coaxial cavity, a dumbbell-shaped cavity, an expansion interaction cavity, a filter loading multi-gap cavity and the like, the klystron is suitable for the multi-gap cavity, a basic mode or a high-order mode can be selected in the working mode, and an electron beam form relates to single-beam, multi-beam, hollow beam and strip beam schemes.
The klystron can produce high frequency pulse or continuous wave power output, and has high power capacity and reliability due to the separation of the electron gun, the high frequency circuit and the collector. The klystron is used as a microwave and millimeter wave amplifying device with high power, high gain and high efficiency, and has the advantages of compact structure, stability, reliability and long service life, so that the klystron is widely applied.
At present, with the progress of three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation software and precision machining technology, the aim of further improving the output power of millimeter wave and sub-millimeter wave band devices is to develop a band-shaped beam klystron with high power capacity. Unlike the traditional axisymmetric resonant cavity with circular electron beam, the resonant cavity of the band-shaped beam klystron is different into a plane symmetric structure with subchambers on two sides and rectangular waveguide in the middle, and is matched with flat beam with large aspect ratio. Its advantages mainly include two aspects: firstly, the interaction area of the cavity is larger, and correspondingly, the heat radiating area and the power capacity are also larger; secondly, in the high frequency band, the planar structure is easy to realize high-precision processing and assembly welding, and accords with the trend of the vacuum electronic device towards the planarization and integration direction.
The resonant cavity of the klystron exchanges energy with the electron beam by establishing a mode electric field in the gap, and in addition to the input and output cavities being used for beam modulation and power extraction, respectively, without loading, the quality factor of the intermediate cavity needs to be calculated by a large signal program to select a reasonable value, which is generally lower than the inherent quality factor of the cavity after machining, in order to more effectively enhance beam bunching, suppress oscillations, and increase the fundamental component in the motion current as much as possible. The characteristic parameters of the cavity have important influence on the wave injection interaction of the klystron, and further determine the overall performance of the device. Wherein the characteristic impedance of the resonant cavity is dependent on the cavity structure and is substantially determined at the design stage.
According to the method, firstly, a three-dimensional model of a resonant cavity is built in electromagnetic analysis software, the resonant frequency of the cavity working mode and the frequency interval between the resonant frequency and an adjacent mode are calculated by the software, then probes are inserted into drift channels and are arranged on two sides of the cavity, peak positions on a transmission curve are recorded, the frequency interval between actually measured peaks is compared with a calculated value, and then the working mode is screened out and the frequency of the working mode is determined.
By using the method, only the resolution of the working mode in the plane multi-gap dumbbell cavity and the measurement of the resonant frequency and the quality factor thereof can be completed, the compensation of the frequency offset caused by the machining error and the brazing deformation cannot be realized, and a solution for adjusting the frequency and the quality factor of the dumbbell cavity to the design values at the same time is not provided. In addition, for the klystron with smaller drift channel size and working in a high frequency band (more than 100 GHz), the processing and manufacturing difficulty of the fine probe is very high, and the requirement on the insertion positioning precision of the probe is high, so that the measurement of the resonant frequency and the quality factor of the klystron cavity by using the probe cannot be realized.

For the input and output cavities, the attenuation porcelain body 42 is not required to be placed in a standard straight waveguide on the high-frequency cavity, so that the testing process of the characteristic parameters of the planar multi-gap cavity can be further simplified, the external quality factor of the working mode mainly depends on the shape of the coupling port, the external quality factor is basically determined in the design stage, the mode resonance frequency is regulated by changing the position of the diaphragm 23, and the step of selecting a proper attenuation porcelain component 4 can be omitted in the testing process.
The principle of the resonant cavity characteristic parameter test and adjustment method of the ribbon beam klystron according to the embodiment of the disclosure is as follows: the characteristic impedance of the planar multi-gap resonant cavity depends on the shape of the cavity, and is determined based on a high-frequency structural design process, so that in order to adjust the resonant frequency and the quality factor of the actual cavity to design values, adjustment is needed through a cold measurement process. The method comprises the steps of selecting machined and formed split parts (111, 112), firstly measuring and checking the internal structural dimensions of the split parts in detail to ensure that machining errors are within a reasonable range, and then combining the two split parts (111, 112) meeting requirements and welding the split parts into a main body part 1 through pressure diffusion welding. Aiming at the problems of structural deformation and poor contact of welding surfaces which possibly exist in the high-frequency cavity, whether the resonance frequency and the quality factor of the main body part 1 formed by welding two split parts (111, 112) are in a reasonable range or not is evaluated according to the cold measurement result of the cavity of the planar multi-gap resonant cavity. In an acceptable case, the diaphragm cover plate assembly 2 is tried to be loaded and cold measurement is carried out again, the resonant frequency of the cavity is measured by adopting a single-port group delay method, and the resonant frequency of the cavity is adjusted to a design value by rotating the driving rod 31 on the tuning mechanism assembly 3. If the cavity frequency cannot be adjusted to the design value in the whole travel range of the tuning rod 21 during the cold measurement process, different diaphragm cover plate assemblies 2 can be replaced for trial. Then, by replacing different attenuation porcelain components 4, the quality factor of the cavity is brought into the allowable range, and simulation calculation shows that the existence of the attenuation porcelain 42 in a wider frequency band has little influence on the resonant frequency of the cavity, so that the adjustment of the quality factor and the resonant frequency of the cavity can be carried out separately. After the cold testing process is completed, a set of attenuation porcelain component 4 and a set of diaphragm cover board component 2 matched with the high-frequency cavity can be screened out, the attenuation porcelain component and the diaphragm cover board component are fixed on the main body part 1 through brazing, and after the tuning mechanism component 3 is installed, the plane multi-gap dumbbell-shaped sealing cavity with the cavity characteristic parameters meeting the design requirements as shown in figure 1 can be obtained.
The planar multi-gap cavity of the band-shaped beam klystron usually works in a 2 pi mode, and the external quality factors of other non-working modes are smaller, so that the working modes can be easily distinguished from the group delay curve measured by the waveguide ports.
