Cyclotron resonance maser experiments in a bifilar helical waveguide
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oscillator and amplifier cyclotron-resonance-maser (CRM) experiments in a spiral bifilar waveguide are presented in this paper. The slow-wave CRM device employs a low-energy low-current electron beam (2-12 keV, approximately 0.5 A). The pitch angle of the helical waveguide is relatively small; hence, the phase velocity in this waveguide, V(ph) congruent with0.8c (where c is the speed of light), is much faster than the axial velocity of the electrons, V(ez)2%). The wide tunable range of this CRM device due to the nondispersive bifilar helix is discussed.

Cyclotron-resonance maser in a periodically loaded quadrupole transmission line.
A cyclotron-resonance maser (CRM) is implemented in a periodic quadrupole waveguide. The device oscillates at the fundamental and high harmonics of the cyclotron frequency. This CRM employs a tenuous low-energy electron beam ( approximately 10 keV, 0.2 A). The periodic structure consists of an array of disks along the quadrupole transmission line, hence it combines both azimuthal and axial peri...
متن کاملTheory of the anomalous Doppler cyclotron-resonance-maser amplifier with tapered parameters
The theory of a slow-wave cyclotron-resonance-maser ~CRM! amplifier employing an initially linear electron beam is developed. In such a device, the electrons radiate electromagnetic waves under the anomalous Doppler effect. In order to maintain the cyclotron resonance between the radiating electrons and the amplifying electromagnetic wave, we consider a system with tapered waveguide parameters....
متن کاملPfc/ja-89-31 Pulse Shapes for Absolute and Convective Cyclotron-resonance-maser Instabilities
This paper contains a linear analysis of pulse shapes produced by a spatial and temporal delta-function disturbance of cyclotron-resonance-maser modes for the case where the initial equilibrium state is free of radiation. A pinch-point analysis based on the theory of Briggs and Bers is employed. Numerical and analytical techniques are developed for the straightforward calculation of pinch-point...
متن کاملLinear analysis of a multibeam cyclotron-resonance maser array
The multibeam cyclotron-resonance maser ~CRM! array is a new concept for compact, high-power CRM devices operating at low voltages. The CRM array studied in this paper employs low-energy electron beams, which are propagating in coupled channels in a two-dimensional periodic waveguide. A static magnetic field spirals the electrons in synchronism with a spatial harmonic of the electromagnetic wav...
متن کاملNormal and anomalous Doppler effects in a dielectric-loaded stripline cyclotron-resonance maser oscillator
The slow-wave cyclotron-resonance master ~CRM! oscillator experiment presented in this paper produces output signals that correspond to normal and anomalous Doppler shifts. The table-top low-voltage (,10 kV! CRM device consists of a double stripline waveguide. The metal strips are loaded by dielectric slabs; thus the waveguide supports slow waves with different phase velocities in odd and even ...
