Design of a Ka-band gyro-TWT amplifier for broadband operation

摘要

In this paper, the design of a Ka-band periodically ceramic loaded gyro-TWT amplifier has been carried out. The design predict that the interaction structure can produce more than 80 kW output power, 50 dB saturated gain, and 3 dB bandwidth for 65 kV and 5 A electron beam with velocity ratio (α) of 1.2. This paper describes the design and simulation of a high performance 35 GHz TE_(01) mode gyro-TWT that applies the same technique of employing a periodic dielectric loaded interaction structure to achieve stability and wide bandwidth. The design of input coupler with loaded interaction structure for Ka-band Gyro-TWT has been carried out using Ansoft hfss. The return loss (S _(11)) and transmission loss (S_(21)) of the Ka-band gyro-TWT input coupler have been found to be -27.3 dB and -0.05 dB, respectively. The design of output window for Ka-band Gyro-TWT has been carried out using cst microwave studio.
