Resonant Enhancement of Radiation from a Backward Wave Oscillator Utilizing Large Diameter Corrugated Metal Structure
JOURNAL OF THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN(2013)
摘要
An experiment on a backward wave oscillator (BWO) utilizing a large diameter corrugated metal wall slow wave structure (SWS) has been presented. Measurements are made above and below the starting beam energy for conventional BWO operation. For the latter case, an excited noise-level backward wave at 20 GHz (TM(01) mode) is coupled at the ends of the SWS to a forward anomalous Doppler shifted electron cyclotron (EC) beam mode which amplifies the original oscillation by an amount of 50 dB. Resultant microwave output powers of 200 kW with 4.5% electronic efficiency are observed near the condition of resonant magnetic field for an electron beam with energy 35 keV. Unlike the well-known fast wave devices, our slow wave EC device is simple to operate utilizing an electron beam with dominant parallel velocity in a uniform magnetic field.
