Abstract

Abstract

The electron gun with high repetition rate and high average current has a very wide range of applications. This paper presents the design of a microwave grid-controlled high-voltage thermionic electron gun working in CW mode with a bunch repetition rate of 325 MHz and elaborates the experimental principles of this kind of electron guns. Firstly, simulation software EGUN, POISSON (Poisson Superfish) and GPT (General Particle Tracer) are used to accomplish the structure design of a300kV high-voltage DC electron gun and beam dynamics verification.Secondly, to feed the microwave into the gap between the cathode and the grid of the electron gunefficiently, design of a power supply with a scheme of impedance matching from the radio frequency power source to the cathode is completed.Accordingly, a 325 MHz dual-mode coaxial power supply device is designed, and its feasibility is verified and analyzed..
- RF grid-controlled electron gun,
- impedance matching,
- beam dynamics,
- steady state high voltage platform
