Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress discharge breakdown between an control electrode and a body in a gyrotron oscillating tube, by connecting an output of a potentiometer with an inductor and by connecting an output of the inductor with the control electrode and besides by connecting a diode in parallel with the inductor so that the diode is disposed forwards from the potentiometer to the control electrode. CONSTITUTION:While output of a potentiometer 9 is inputted to a control electrode 3 in an oscillating tube via an inductor 14, a diode 15 for clamping counter electromotive force is connected in parallel with the inductor 14. Even if discharge breakdown between the control electrode 3 and a body in such a gyrotron power source tries to rapidly increase the current flowing toward the control electrode 3 from the body, the discharge breakdown can be suppressed by interruption of the inductor 14. Therefore, long-pulse and continuous operations can be performed in this gyrotron oscillating tube, besides with the aging period being shortened.

(Prior Art) As is well known, the gyrotron has many problems with respect to the axial velocity spread of the electron beam and the magnetron injection electron gun (MIG), which generates and emits electrons that perform cyclotron motion with a large transverse velocity component. It consists of an open cavity for electrons to satisfy cyclotron resonance conditions and for long-term interaction between electromagnetic waves and electrons, and a core and lid for extracting high frequency waves to an external circuit and collecting the electron beam after the interaction has finished. Ru. Furthermore, a magnet that generates a large magnetic field is used to cause the electrons to perform a predetermined cyclotron motion. By the way, the power supply for generating the electron beam used in this gyrotron oscillator tube uses constant voltage control in order to keep the high-frequency output stable and prevent the oscillator tube from being damaged by discharge destruction that occurs within the MIG. A high voltage DC power supply with a cut-off function is used.

3 is a control electrode of the MIG, 4 is a body including an open cavity, and 5 is a collector. 6 is MIG
This is the heater power supply for heating the heater. The negative high voltage generated by the DC voltage generator 7 is applied to the cathode 2 of the MIG of the gyrotron oscillation tube through the modulation tube 8. On the other hand, the output of the modulation tube 8 is divided by a variable voltage dividing resistor 9 and applied to the control electrode 3 of the MIG. The output voltage of the modulation tube is detected by a voltage detector 10 connected in parallel with a variable voltage dividing resistor, and is detected by a control circuit 11 and a driver 1.
It is fed back to the modulator tube' through 2 to keep the MIG cathode potential at a constant potential. In addition, the current detector 13 detects the current flowing into each part of the gyrotron oscillation tube,
When the current level set by the control circuit is exceeded, the modulating tube 8 is cut off as an overcurrent, thereby preventing damage to the inside of the tube due to discharge breakdown or the like.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in the gyrotron oscillation tube, gas is generated in the collector 5 that collects the electron beams when the electron beams collide with each other. This gas flows into the MIG and causes discharge breakdown between the electrodes of the MIG. M.I.
In G tc, between the cathode l and the control electrode 3,
A high voltage is applied between the control electrode 3 and the body 4, but since the electric field and the magnetic field generated by the magnet are nearly perpendicular between the cathode 1 and the control electrode 3, this magnetic field causes discharge breakdown. suppressed. However, the directions of the electric and magnetic fields are parallel between the control electrode 3 and the body 4, so this effect is not effective, and a large amount of gas is generated especially immediately after the oscillation tube is turned on, so discharge breakdown frequently occurs. There was a problem that aging took a long time. In addition, even during long pulse operation, a large amount of gas is generated, resulting in discharge breakdown, which hinders long pulse operation and continuous operation.

(Function) In the gyrotron power supply device configured in this way, discharge breakdown occurs between the control electrode of the oscillator tube and the body.
Even if an excessive current attempts to flow from the control electrode toward the variable voltage dividing resistor, the inductor prevents the current from rising rapidly, thereby suppressing the growth of discharge breakdown. In addition, the diode clamps the back electromotive force of the inductor, and becomes conductive to the current flowing toward the control electrode. Therefore, the inductor cannot suppress discharge breakdown between the cathode and the control electrode, but as mentioned earlier, For this reason, discharge breakdown during this period is unlikely to occur, so no problem occurs.
