A traveling-wave, extended interaction amplifier is herein investigated for use in millimeter-wave and terahertz amplification sources. By placing engineered extended interaction cavities between the traveling wave structures, higher gain is obtained with a shorter high frequency circuit, compared with conventional traveling wave tubes architectures. The bandwidth of the device is significantly in...Show More
Here, we report on the development of highly overmoded structure for a millimeter-wave (MMW) extended interaction klystron (EIK). To enhance electron beam loading, a new method for designing an oversized beam tunnel in a large cavity by concentrating the axial field is demonstrated. The transmission and oscillation characteristics of the interaction circuit operating in the quasi-TM04 mode are tes...Show More
Here, we present the complete design process of a highly overmoded slow wave circuit (SWC) stably operating in the quasi-TM04 mode for terahertz (THz) extended interaction oscillator (EIO). The developed interaction circuit emits THz frequency electromagnetic radiation through structural size of the engineered millimeter-wave (MMW) circuits, which provides a new technological horizon for overcomin...Show More
An overmoded terahertz (THz) extended interaction oscillator (EIO) with high beam loading capability is presented. Through the reconstruction of the high-order mode field, a super-large beam processing mechanism is established. It proves that the overmoded operation oriented by increasing the circuit size has more potential technology expansions related to beam-wave energy conversion. This EIO is ...Show More
Carbon nanotube (CNT) cold cathode has become an excellent candidate material for terahertz (THz) vacuum microelectronic radiation source due to its excellent field emission characteristics. Here, we report the development of an annular beam CNT cold cathode electron optical system. Through parametrically optimized macroscale simulations, the cold cathode electron optical system based on CNT film ...Show More
Terahertz waves, with the advantages of strong penetrability and low damaging, can be applied to develop non-destructive testing (NDT), security detection and medical imaging. As a vacuum electronic radiation source of high-power, long-pulse terahertz waves, gyrotron therefore has great potential in transmission imaging and NDT. A terahertz imaging system based on a cold cathode gyrotron is design...Show More
We here report on the development of an improved dual-gridded electron gun based on a carbon nanotube cold cathode that enhances electron beam transparency and reduces grid interception and loss pathways. Compared with microscale tip Spindts, the dual-gridded construction decreases challenges associated with nanomaterial growth, fabrication, and assembly. Our experimental findings show that this d...Show More
A four-cavity, large-sized beam tunnel, G-band extended interaction Klystron (EIK) is here proposed. A three-hole coupling cavity has been optimized to ensure a sufficient beam–wave interaction. The beam conductance and the total quality factor of each cavity have been analyzed to evaluate the stability of the beam–wave interaction for a 0.2-A beam current and 14.5-kV operating voltage. The partic...Show More
An Extended Interaction Oscillator (EIO) with five electron beams, which operates at a higher order mode, is simulated. The operation of multiple electron beams in a high¬order cavity means that a higher total electron beam current interacts with a large cavity field energy to obtain a higher output power. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation shows that the EIO operating at TM51 mode has an output po...Show More
A compact carbon nanotube cold-cathode oscillator operating at terahertz band is designed by PIC simulation software in this paper. The cathode part is integrated with the high frequency structure. The field emission beam of the cold cathode is modulated by the high frequency field in the high frequency structure directly. The simulation results show that a peak output power of 3.4W is obtained at...Show More
