Definitions
- the invention relates to a frequency multiplier for the production of millimeter and sub-millimeter radio waves, operating by interaction of an electron beam and an electromagnetic wave.
- This type of tube is used for the production of high powers in the range of millimeter and sub-millimeter waves mentioned.
- the subject of the invention is a frequency multiplication arrangement making it possible to avoid these difficulties.
- the seat circuit of the electromagnetic wave in interaction with the beam is provided in two parts, the first of which resonates on a frequency close to the cyclotronic frequency f, and the second on a frequency multiple whole of this frequency, in the conditions which will be described.
- This figure shows in schematic section a frequency multiplier of the invention.
- an electron beam 6 passes through a first cavity 1, resonating with a pulsation ⁇ ) J close to ⁇ c .
- This cavity extends over such a length and has an impedance whose value is such that an oscillation at this frequency occurs there.
- This oscillation is in low amplitude operating conditions, so that in this section of the multiplier tube only a small fraction of the beam energy is expended in the interaction of the latter with the electromagnetic field of the cavity. Given the high overvoltages that we know to achieve for such cavities, it is perfectly possible nevertheless to obtain at the output 8 of the cavity 1 a beam having a large modulation depth, in the sense that it is understood in the interaction tubes in general, and speed modulation in particular.
- a part bearing the mark 5, located in front of the cavity 1 comprises, according to the art known in the art, one or more traps intended to avoid any influence of the high frequency wave on the gun whose optics is particularly delicate in this kind of tube.
- This part can also include, always according to the art, attenuating zones for the high frequency wave, for the same purpose. It consists of a slip space, equipotential for the accelerated beam; it is practically at the same continuous potential as anode 4.
- the beam then enters the cavity 2 resonating at a frequency multiple whole of the self-oscillation frequency corresponding to the previous pulsation W.
- the beam gives up a significant fraction of its energy in the form of electromagetic energy at the harmonic frequency nf (n integer); this energy is evacuated by the output guide 7, while the electrons are captured by a collector not shown in the drawing.
- the distance between the ends 8 and 9 of the two cavities can be increased compared to that of the example, so as to constitute an equipotential tunnel 10 for sliding, as in a klystron, allowing an improvement in the grouping of the electrons within the beam.
- the tunnel is advantageously at the potential of the anode, as are the cavities 1 and 2.
- the cavity l instead of being self-oscillating, can be modified (length and reduced overvoltage) so as to no longer self-oscillate; in this case it is excited by an external microwave source, not shown, operating in the vicinity of the cyclotonic frequency.
- This requires the addition to the cavity 1 of a source coupling member (loop in the case of a coaxial, iris in that of a guide, etc.).
- the frequency multiplier of the present intention preferably operates in TE mode, preferably in TE mode o, n, l
- n 2 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ respectively the pulsation and the wavelength considered corresponding to the frequency f for the first cavity and nf for the second.
- the opening in the center of the first cavity can, without drawback, as in the drawing, have the same dimension as in the second cavity, or a dimension substantially greater; finally, in the example, the sliding tube, chosen very short, was a small fraction of the previous smallest radius r ..
- the multiplier tube of the invention allows the generation of high-end microwave energy, with high levels. It has the same applications as the prior art generators in millimeter and sub-millimeter waves, namely, in particular, measurement in plasmas, radar transmission and telecommunications.
