  • Design and Simulation Investigations of Dual-Band RBWO Using Sectional Slow Wave Structures for Long Pulse Generation
    V. Venkata Reddy and M. Thottappan
    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
    In this article, a relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO) with sectional slow wave structures (SWSs) has been designed to generate a long high-power microwave (HPM) pulse at two different frequencies. Two individual SWSs were cascaded using a drift section (drift section-II) that separated them at a sufficient distance to generate dual microwave frequencies. The first section of the SWS (SWS-I) has been designed to generate S-band frequency and the second section of the SWS (SWS-II) to generate C-band frequency. A rectangular resonant reflector (RR) has been used to reflect the backward traveling wave into a forward wave toward the collector. The drift section-II also acted as an RR for the C-band frequency in addition to make the phase adjustment between the backward and forward microwaves and end reflections of SWS-I. The performance of the dual-band RBWO with sectional SWSs has been studied through the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation by a finite difference time domain (FDTD)-based numerical code. The present simulation predicted a total RF output power of ~600 MW in TM01 mode at ~3.6 and ~4.5 GHz with a power conversion efficiency of ~20% for an annular electron beam with voltage ~550 kV, developed current ~5.4 kA, and the guiding magnetic field of ~1.3 T. A clear and more stable RF output power up to 100 ns of simulation time at both operating frequencies was observed with a frequency difference (between S- and C-band) of ~0.9 GHz.

  • Design and PIC Simulation of Klystron like RBWO at Lower Guiding Magnetic Field
    Pratibha Verma, V Venkata Reddy, and M Thottappan
    IEEE
    An X-band Klystron like RBWO with a single extraction cavity has been designed and simulated for its beam-wave interaction behavior at lower guiding magnetic field using FDTD based electromagnetic code. The present simulation predicted a maximum RF output power ~1.1 GW with some stability at 9.48 GHz for an applied input DC voltage of 660 kV, beam current of 4.059 kA, and 0.58 T. The power conversion efficiency has been calculated as ~40%.

  • Design and PIC Simulation of Dual-band RBWO Under Low Magnetic Field Operation
    V Venkata Reddy, Pratibha Verma, and M Thottappan
    IEEE
    A dual-band Relativistic Backward Wave Oscillator (RBWO) has been designed and simulated under the lowest magnetic field using a finite difference time domain (FDTD) based 3D electromagnetic code. The dual-band oscillations were obtained by cascading two slow-wave structures (SWS) with the same transverse dimensions separated by a drift section. To reflect the dual-band microwave of the backward TM01 mode into a forward TM01 wave towards the collector, a rectangular resonant reflector (RR) was used. The effect of cyclotron and Cerenkov absorption on the dual-band frequency generation and average RF output power was presented to identify the operating magnetic field. An average RF output power ∼275 MW was predicted at both ∼3.6 GHz and ∼4.5 GHz with a magnetic field of ∼0.25 T.

  • Modeling of RF Pulse Shortening Causes and Their Effects on an Overmoded RBWO under Low Guiding Magnetic Field
    V. Venkata Reddy, M. A. Ansari, and M. Thottappan
    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
    The overmoded slow wave structure (OSWS) and trapezoidal resonant reflector (TRR) have been used to study their effects on the microwave generation time in relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO) at the lower guiding magnetic field using a finite difference time domain (FDTD) based particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation “MAGIC” code. Electrons other than the primary electrons and positively charged hydrogen ions (PCHIs) have been identified as the major causes of RF pulse shortening. The pulse shortening analysis has indicated that these causes do not influence the microwave generation time in the overmoded RBWO with TRR for the entire simulation time. The predicted simulation results of the overmoded RBWO with TRR have been justified by comparing with the performances of other RBWO configurations, including a nonovermoded RBWO with rectangular resonant reflector (RR) and TRR individually and an overmoded RBWO with RR provided the inclusion of some of the practical causes of RF pulse shortening. The PIC simulation of pulse shortening analysis predicted that the overmoded RBWO with TRR generated the saturated RF output power of ~0.96 GW at ~3.7 GHz without any pulse shortening with the power duration of at least 70 ns at the lowest guiding magnetic field of ~0.19 T.

  • Simulation investigations of high power overmoded relativistic backward wave oscillator with trapezoidal resonant reflector

    Defence Scientific Information and Documentation Centre
    An S-band high power relativistic backward wave oscillator using a trapezoidal resonant reflector and overmoded slow-wave structure is demonstrated by finite difference time domain based Particle-In-Cell code. The trapezoidal resonant reflector and slow-wave structure are chosen to improve the RBWO power handing capability to gigawatt (GW). The Trapezoidal resonant reflector enhances the pre-modulation during electron beam propagation, thus increasing the generated RF signal overall efficiency and coherency. The particle-in-cell simulation generated an RF output power ~5.4 GW in TM01 mode at ~3.6 GHz in a 2.0 T magnetic field and developed a 13.5 kA current for a 1.2 MV DC cathode voltage. The power conversion efficiency is achieved as ~33 %. Further, the influence of different design parameters on frequency, RF output power, and efficiency are analysed through Particle-In-Cell simulations.

  • PIC Simulation Studies of High Power RBWO with Trapezoidal Resonant Reflector at Low Guiding Magnetic Field
    V Venkata Reddy, M. A. Ansari, and M. Thottappan
    IEEE
    In this paper, an S-band Relativistic Backward Wave Oscillator (RBWO) with Trapezoidal Resonant Reflector (TRR) has been studied at low guiding magnetic field by using 3D Particle-In-cell (PIC) code. The overmoded TRR and slow-wave structure (SWS) are more favourable in view of high-power handling capability under the low guiding magnetic field. In order to generate the GW level of power, the device is operated with ~1.2 MV of DC beam voltage and ~12.5 kA of developed electron beam current. The annular electron beam at the beam-wave interaction is guided by an external guiding magnetic field of 0.32 T. The PIC simulation predicted an average RF output power of ~5.0 GW at ~3.6 GHz in pure TM01 output mode with the conversion efficiency of ~34%. The obtained saturated RF power generation has been last up to 100 ns of simulation time without any pulse shortening.

    IEEE
    An overmoded sinusoidally corrugated Relativistic Backward Wave Oscillator (RBWO) has been designed and simulated for Gigawatt power level at low guiding magnetic field. In the upstream, a trapezoidal cavity resonant reflector (TRR) is used to reduce the over modulation of the electron beam. The applied DC voltage is 550 kV and the developed electron beam current is ∼5.9 kA under the guiding magnetic field 0.19 T. The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulation predicted an RF power of ∼0.97 GW at operating frequency ∼3.6 GHz with the corresponding power conversion efficiency of ∼30%. Further, the device is investigated for the cyclotron resonance absorption region near to $\\pi$-mode of operation.

    IEEE
    A simple low voltage operational amplifier is introduced with an efficient class-AB output stage. Two biasing transistors are present in between common source stage. This amplifier is simulated in 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The proposed class-AB amplifier is designed to operate from ±500 mV supplies. The simulated phase margin of proposed class-AB amplifier is 87° at the load of 10 kΩ∥1 pF. The class-AB amplifier's total compensation capacitance is 5 pF, which is less than 50% of conventional amplifiers. The unity gain frequency of proposed class-AB amplifier is 21.17 MHz, when driving a resistive load from 10 kΩ to 500 kΩ and capacitive loads from 1 pF to 5 pF. The slew rates of modified amplifier are 7.5 V/μs and 8.57 V/μs. This modified amplifier greatly increases the slew rate compared to the conventional circuits.
