- the electromagnetic wave with the amplitude E0 is input through the power input port a. Due to the characteristics of the double T (H branch), at the AB plane, there will be electromagnetic wave outputs with the same amplitude E 0 /(2 ⁇ (1/2)) and the same phase in the waveguides I and II.
- the non-reciprocal phase shifter can make the phase of the electromagnetic wave in the waveguide I lead 90° relative to the phase in the waveguide II when the electromagnetic wave is transmitted from the AB surface to the CD surface in the forward direction (conversely, if the electromagnetic wave is transmitted from the CD surface to the AB surface in the reverse direction,
- the phase in waveguide II is 90° ahead of waveguide I)
- the 3dB coupler between the first power output port b and the third power output port d from the CD plane can make the microwave power in waveguide I and waveguide II equally divided
- the phase shift is increased by 90° during coupling transmission, so that the waveguide I and waveguide II are respectively output to the first power output port b and the third power output port d
- the microwave power is all output from the first power output port b, but not output from the third power output port d.
- the microwave power input from the first power output port b is distributed to the output of the second power output port c
- the microwave power input from the second power output port c is distributed to the output of the third power output port d.
- the reflected microwave input from the first power output port b is distributed to the output of the second power output port c, and the reflected wave from the second power output port c will be transmitted to the third power output port d and absorbed by the load absorbed.
- the timing control of the controller 11 enables the first accelerating tube connected to the first power output port b to obtain greater power and energy to output at least one higher-energy X-ray, for example, the output energy X-rays of 6 MeV and 3 MeV; and the timing control of the controller 11 enables the second accelerating tube connected to the second power output port c to obtain smaller power and energy to output at least one lower-energy X-ray,
- the output energy is X-rays of 0.3-0.6 MeV.
- the detector 30 may be a dual-energy detector.

- the high-energy detector array and the low-energy detector array are turned on alternately within a scanning period.

- This can effectively prevent or reduce the interference of the detector 30 on receiving the detection signal when the radiation pulses of different radiation energies act on the object to be inspected, and improve the quality of the obtained scanning image.
- FIG. 14 is a schematic flow diagram of some embodiments of inspection methods according to the present disclosure.
