  • a one-turn pickup coil was installed on the atmospheric side near the gyrotron, and the signal was directly measured with a high-time resolution oscilloscope. As a result, high-frequency noise of about 570MHz was detected for about 1-2 seconds after the oscillation. From this, it was found that the presence or absence of noise generation is related to the collector coil current and the applied voltage.

Also, when the S11 spectrum was measured using a loop antenna and a network analyzer, the graph shown in FIG. 6(c) was obtained. Since the resonance frequency calculated according to the following formula matches the frequency of the measured high-frequency noise, it was confirmed that there is a high possibility that the collector acts as a resonator and generates RF noise.
  • the resonance frequency of the collector was calculated as shown in FIG. 6(b). , in both cases was about 570 MHz in the TE 1,1,2 mode. Since the resonance frequency calculated according to the following formula also matches the measured high-frequency noise frequency (see (c) in Fig. 6), it is highly likely that the collector acts as a resonator and generates RF noise. confirmed again.
  • the electron beam in the collector oscillates due to the cyclotron resonance maser action, and high-frequency noise of about 570 MHz leaks into the atmosphere, presuming that this is the cause of the high-frequency noise.

  • multiple jigs were installed on the collector flange, and the iron plate was screwed to these jigs. This is because the size and number of iron plates suitable for noise suppression differ for each gyrotron, so that the size and number of iron plates to be used can be easily changed.
