Magnetron, as a kind of high-power high-efficiency and low-cost microwave generator, has been widely improved and used since 1930s. For industrial utility, magnetron with CW output power of 75 kW operating in 915 MHz is widely used. Therefore, one type of water load with tolerance of 100 kW is developed for the convenience of high power test. Three type of materials, ceramic, mica, Teflon are considered to be used as microwave window of water load. According to simulation result, its VSWR is optimized to be less than 1.08, 1.25 and 1.5 within a bandwidth of 100 MHz for ceramic, mica and Teflon respectively.

The resistive wall amplifier (RWA) has been shown to be theoretically capable of very high gains. However, properties of the materials necessary to support the practical resistive medium significantly reduce the effective gain of the device. This work investigates a metamaterial-enhanced RWA. We demonstrate theoretically that the use of metamaterials in RWAs enables very high, near-theoretical gains.

This paper presents the design of a circular waveguide TM01 mode combiner with high power capacity for phased locked high power devices. Considering the characteristic of the TM01 mode, two high power sources are injected co-axially into a radial waveguide structure with rectangular coupling apertures symmetrically placed on the cylindrical profile of the circular waveguide. The microwaves generated by two phase locked high power devices with the same phase are extracted by magnetic coupling. Then, the extracted microwaves travel through the rectangular waveguides separately, and are combined by the other radial waveguide with shorted wall. Circular cavities along the input waveguides are employed and provide reflections to eliminate the transmitted power from one source to the other and match the combiner. Simulation results show that the TM01 mode combiner at X-band possess GW level power capacity and combination efficiency up to 97%.

Frequency agility and tunability is necessary for many applications of high power microwave sources. Frequency characteristics of a distributed feedback resonant traveling wave tube with high efficiency are investigated in this paper. Frequency hopping of the device is achieved by controlling the longitudinal mode competition. The experiments have been carried out and high power microwave with dual-modes output are obtained. When the voltage is about 680 kV, microwave with power of 2.1GW, frequency of 9.3GHz and efficiency of 41% is generated. Meanwhile, microwave with power of 1.2GW, frequency of 10.3GHz and efficiency of 35% is also generated while the voltage is about 580kV.
