The device components of 0.22 THz sheet beam TWT amplifier, comprised of a staggered double grating array waveguide, have been designed for broadband THz operation (∼ 30 %) of the fundamental passband (TE-mode). The optimally designed input coupler has ≤1 dB insertion loss at 0.22 THz with ∼ 75 GHz (34 %) 1-dB matching bandwidths. The designed RF window utilizing thin mica provides a coupling bandwidth spanning multiple octaves. The collector is designed to have a jog for collecting the spent beam along the RF path coupled to the output RF-window. Computer simulations show the collector hybridized with a WR-4 window has ∼ 60 GHz matching bandwidth with ∼ −0.5 dB insertion loss at 0.22 THz. The beam focusing structure design, for pulse operation, allows the elliptical sheet beam to have 73 % beam transmission. Most of the TWT circuit components have been designed and currently a full modeling effort is being conducted.

Backward wave oscillation (BWO) and other parasitic oscillation are encountered in the process of manufacturing W-band TWT. In order to eliminate the oscillation, a kind of attenuation material is coated to the folded waveguide wall. This method presents a good performance to enable stable working of the TWT and increase the output power to 15W at the same drive level.

The commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) industrial heating magnetrons are the most powerful non-relativistic Microwave Vacuum Electronic Devices (MVED) operating in the upper part of the UHF band (800–1000 MHz). There are limitations imposed on the magnetron operation by the thermionic cathodes operating in the thermal electron emission mode. Among the most severe limitations are (i) the time the magnetron takes to be ready to operate when necessary (the warm-up time), and (ii) the inability to increase the current without damage in an effort to produce greater microwave power. Recently, the High Power Microwave Division of the Air Force Research Laboratory, Directed Energy Directorate (AFRL/RDH) initiated the project, “Non-thermionic cathode for high power, long pulse, and long lifetime magnetrons.” The project aims at developing a “compact electron emitting cathode capable of re-placing the conventional thermionic source without changing the microwave source operation and eliminating the heater for the thermionic cathode.” This paper presents results of PIC simulations of a strapped non-relativistic UHF magnetron with geometrical and operational parameters similar to those of the high-power industrial heating 915 MHz magnetron, and a helical cathode operating in the explosive electron emission mode producing the maximum available i.e. “space-charge-limited” (SCL) current.

The vacuum electronic era started with the invention of vacuum diode by JA Fleming in 1904. However, the foundation of microwaves was laid in India much earlier by one of the fathers of radio science-Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose in 1890's in Calcutta. He used waveguides, horn antenna, dielectric lenses, polarizer's and even semiconductor detector, while working at the 2.5 cm to 5 mm wavelength. Today, the vacuum electronic devices (VEDs) are an essential component of many defense, space, and high energy research and civilian systems employing rf, microwaves, or x-rays or simply high speed switching. Defense systems like Radar, electronic warfare, communication and missile systems; high energy particle accelerators, TeV colliders, fusion reactors, industrial- and domestic-ovens, medical imaging, hyperthermia, high power electric transmission etc. all require VEDs. Presently, India is one among just a dozen countries in the world having the ecosystem of academia, research laboratories production enterprises and a significant domestic market in defense, space, civilian, high energy research and ISM sectors to nurture innovation in these devices.

In this paper, the development of W-band sheet beam klystron has been introduced with high transmission rate beam and a 2-dimensional code SBK2D calculation. The ellipse cathode and electrode structure is used to form the sheet electron beam with the beam aspect ratio about 25:1. And the uniform magnetic system is used to transport the sheet electron beam with the drift tube length about 100mm. After the sheet beam tube is manufactured, the transmission rate and cross-section experiment are performed. With the beam voltage of 20–82 kV, and beam current of 0.5–4.2A, the transmission rate is more than 98%, and the beam cross-section is about 10×0.5mm2. Then the sheet electron beam wave interaction process with 4 single-gap and 4 multi-gap cavities are calculated using the 2-dimensional code SBK2D based on the rod shape macro-particle model, the 55kW high frequency output with the efficiency of 20% and gain of 40 dB are observed at the frequency of 94.5 GHz.
