Description

H-face ultra-compact strip-shaped traveling wave tube coupler with arc resonator
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microwave vacuum electronics. And more particularly to an H-plane ultra-compact strip beam traveling wave tube coupler with a circular arc resonator.
Background
The ribbon beam traveling wave tube is a vacuum amplifying device, has the characteristics of large transverse dimension and wide frequency band and high gain, and is widely paid attention to. How to realize the isolation of electron beam and microwave and the low-loss input and output of microwave is an important problem of research.
The existing coupler mainly has the following two modes in the aspects of realizing electron beam and microwave isolation. One is to achieve isolation by reducing the size of the beam channel. As shown in fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a curved dual-ridge waveguide coupler is provided, which is an example of achieving good isolation by reducing the electron beam channel. In engineering application, the large electron beam channel size is a key for ensuring the transmission of the high band-shaped injection flow rate in the prior art, and too small electron beam channel sectional area can lead to very low band-shaped injection flow rate and can not realize device design indexes.
The second way is to achieve isolation by adding a bragg resonator to the beam path. As shown in fig. 2, a schematic diagram of a cascaded bragg resonator coupler is presented, which is typical of the isolation achieved with bragg resonators. This approach does not reduce the size of the beam channel, but increases the length of the coupler beyond 3 wavelengths in axial dimension, and too long a circuit can adversely affect the beam flow rate. Because the coupler needs to appear 4 times in a section of traveling wave tube circuit, the coupler occupies about 35% of the effective transmission distance of the strip beam, and the excessive length limits the electron beam rate and increases the loss.
In addition to these, there are some non-mainstream ribbon-type injection coupler designs, such as porous couplers, E-plane curved couplers, chebyshev curve directional couplers, polarization rotating couplers, etc. They cannot meet the four-point design requirements of the coupler in engineering, namely, the axial length is as short as possible, the electron beam passage area is as large as possible, the input and output coupling is carried out from the H face, and the two-dimensional processing is convenient, so that the coupler cannot be practically applied.

In terms of isolating electromagnetic waves and electron beam channels, the invention cancels the structure of the existing Bragg resonator, isolates the electromagnetic waves and the electron beam by integrating the arc resonator 2 on the straight waveguide 1 communicated with the slow wave structure 5, and greatly shortens the axial length of the coupler under the condition of not reducing the electron beam channels.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, the axis direction of the electron beam channel 4 is set along the z direction, the x direction is perpendicular to the z direction, the axis of the straight waveguide 1 is set along the z direction, the y direction is perpendicular to both the x direction and the z direction, and the circular arc resonator 2 penetrates the straight waveguide 1 along the y direction.
The design of the invention focuses on how to make the isolation of microwaves and electron beams without reducing the size of an electron beam channel or additionally arranging a Bragg resonator, and the invention creatively integrates the circular arc resonator 2 and the straight waveguide 1 by introducing the circular arc resonator 2, thereby completing the isolation of microwaves and electron beams without additionally occupying axial length. More specifically, the circular arc resonator 2 penetrates through the straight waveguide 1 and the electron beam channel 4 at the same time, and the horizontal section of the circular arc resonator 2 is circular arc.
