Design of Collectors for High Average/Continuous-Wave Power Gyro-Devices.

In this paper, techniques to improve the collector’s dissipated power density threshold are discussed first. Then, theories of electron collection are presented, aiming at improving the effective electron-collecting area and collecting uniformity. Specifically, the layered electron beam collection in linear-taper collector, respectively, with constant and gradually varying magnetic field is modeled and discussed. Results indicate that a quasi-rectangular shape collection can be realized as the tangential collection dominates. Finally, the using of a compensation coil is analyzed and the corresponding collector is designed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
