Abstract
Relativistic backward wave oscillators (RBWOs) have the characteristics of high power and high repetition rate. Reducing the magnetic field strength and the weight of the external permanent magnet (PM) is a significant development direction of RBWOs. In previous research, an X-band RBWO enclosed with a PM has achieved a power efficiency of 50%. However, the PM used in these papers requires a magnetic field magnitude of over 0.68 T, which leads to a weight exceeding 400 kg. The RBWO designed in this paper operates in coaxial TM01 mode, and the radial distance between its cathode and the surface of the slow wave structures reaches 7 mm. Under the condition of a low magnetic field, this design can provide a wide electron beam channel to avoid the rubbing of the electron beam envelope on the inner and outer conductors. Particle-in-cell simulation results have demonstrated that this RBWO achieves an output microwave power of 3 GW with a power efficiency of 50% enclosed in a PM with a magnetic field strength of 0.43 T and a weight of 74 kg.
期刊介绍：
AIP Advances is an open access journal publishing in all areas of physical sciences—applied, theoretical, and experimental. All published articles are freely available to read, download, and share. The journal prides itself on the belief that all good science is important and relevant. Our inclusive scope and publication standards make it an essential outlet for scientists in the physical sciences.
AIP Advances is a community-based journal, with a fast production cycle. The quick publication process and open-access model allows us to quickly distribute new scientific concepts. Our Editors, assisted by peer review, determine whether a manuscript is technically correct and original. After publication, the readership evaluates whether a manuscript is timely, relevant, or significant.
