摘要: 粒子模拟了电子碰撞空气产生的等离子体对同轴慢波结构高功率微波器件的影响,并且在充空气条件下对器件结构参数进行了进一步优化。模拟表明,气压越高,产生的二极管电流越大,二极管电压越低,频率越低。等离子体离子对电子束的空间电荷中和及等离子体电子对微波的能量吸收共同影响输出微波功率的大小。在一定的气压范围内,提高气压能够提高输出功率,此时等离子体离子对电子束的空间电荷中和起主导作用。气压高于一定值时,所产生的等离子体电子强烈吸收微波,输出功率迅速下降,甚至引起脉冲缩短。此外,由于等离子体的存在,器件最佳相互作用区长度以及最优端面反射系数均有可能发生改变。最后还对慢波结构周期数以及漂移段长度等进行了研究,优化的器件内、外导体周期数为11和8.5,慢波结构前端以及内外慢波结构末端分别接4, 17和2 mm的漂移段,在气压4 Pa下获得了1.64 GW的输出功率,效率39%。Abstract: The effects of the plasma generated from the air ionzation on the output characteristic of microwave are given. Keeping the external wave constant, the diode current increases, the diode voltage decreases, and the microwave frequency decreases with the increase of air pressure. The space charge neutralization introduced by the plasma ion and the microwave energy absorption produced by the plasma electron will affect the beam-wave interaction simultaneously. In certain range of air pressure, the advantage of space charge neutralization leads to the increase of the output power. However, when the pressure is higher, the compact plasma electron will strongly absorb the microwave energy, and lower the output power, even result in pulse shortening. On the other hand, due to the presence of the
