Abstract
- A novel dual-band nested transit time oscillator (TTO) is proposed in this paper, which consists of an outer X-band coaxial TTO and an inner Ka-band coaxial TTO. It is capable of generating dual-band microwaves simultaneously with three distinctive features. First, the emission processes of inner and outer annular electron beams are independent. Second, the inner and outer high frequency structures are spatially isolated. Third, the inner and outer annular electron beams share the guiding magnetic field. Particle-in-cell simulation is performed where a voltage of 450 kV and a guiding magnetic field of 0.6 T are used. Simulation results demonstrate that microwave output with a frequency of 8.4 GHz and a power of 1.72 GW is obtained for the X-band, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 42% and a microwave saturation time of 30 ns. Meanwhile, microwave output with a frequency of 31.3 GHz and a power of 1.18 GW is achieved for the Ka-band, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 40% and a microwave saturation time of 15 ns.
