A Design of 0.263-THz Extended Interaction Klystron
摘要
In this paper, an extended interaction klystron(EIK) operating at 263 GHz is proposed and analyzed, which uses a conventional ladder-type resonant cavity structure to obtain higher power output. By investigating the high-frequency characteristics as well as the beam–wave interaction, a five-cavity EIK is proposed, in which the input and the middle cavities are five-gap, while the output cavity is seven-gap. The three-dimensional Particle in Cell simulation results show a stable output power of 120 W, a gain of 23.8 dB and an efficiency of 2.2% under the voltage of 18 kV, the current of 0.3 A with a drive signal of 0.5 W.The spectrum predicts that the output signal is at 263.04 GHz.
