Overmoded GW-Class Surface-Wave Microwave Oscillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results of theoretical and experimental studies of a GW-class, large diameter microwave oscillator are presented. The device consists of a large cross-section (overmoded), slow-wave structure with a unique profile of wall radius specifically designed to support surface waves and to provide a strong beam-wave coupling at moderate voltage (500 kV), an internal adjustable microwave reflector, a coaxial microwave extraction section, and a coaxial magnetically insulated field emission electron gun. In preliminary experiments carried out at 8.3 GHz, the power level exceeding 0.5 GW and efficiency of 15% have been measured calorimetrically.

متن کاملGeneration of single and periodically repeated powerful ultrashort microwave pulses
Generation of powerful ultrashort microwave pulses (USP) is of interest for a large number of practical applications, including radars with high resolution, plasma diagnostics, spectroscopy etc. In order to achieve this purpose many methods well-known in laser physics can be implemented in microwave electronics. In the last decade significant progress was achieved in generation of microwave USP...

متن کاملA study of stratospheric GW fluctuations and sporadic E at midlatitudes with focus on possible orographic effect of Andes
[1] Longitudinal dependences of stratospheric gravity wave (GW) fluctuations and lower ionospheric irregularities (sporadic E) at midlatitudes are studied by means of radio occultation data of the Global Positioning System/Meteorology Experiment (GPS/MET) satellite mission. The zonal average of temperature variance of GW fluctuations with vertical scales less than 7 km at northern midlatitudes ...
متن کاملStructure of Primordial Gravitational Waves Spectrum in a Double Inflationary Model
The gravitational waves (GW) background generated in a double inflationary model, with two scalar fields mutually interacting through gravity only, and its relative contribution T/S to large-angle temperature fluctuations of the relic microwave background are investigated in detail. The relation between T/S and the slope of the GW spectrum nT is shown to be a discriminative test between a slow-...
