Abstract

The presence of plasma inside the gyrotron interaction structure alters the mode field. The presence of a magnetic field changes the plasma to an anisotropic media. Field analysis of a plasma loaded coaxial gyrotron cavity with triangular corrugations on the insert is undertaken using full wave approach. Modes inside a plasma loaded interaction structure have all six nonzero field components and hence are hybrid modes. Plasma modes (space charge modes), cyclotron modes, and waveguide EH and HE modes are the three families of modes that can exist in plasma loaded waveguide. Inside the gyrotron interaction structure, the cyclotron mode and the desired mode (HE) couple and this coupling leads to change in the eigenvalue of the modes. In this paper, a full wave approach has been used to analyze the dispersion relation and calculate eigenvalue of the desired HE mode.
