SE TERY

Rf interaction properties of several structures suitable for

cold-cathode high-power magnetrons have been investigated analytically

and experimentally, with special emphasis on increasing the under-

standing of the interaction and maximizing the area of coherent

interaction with the electron beam at a given frequency. The

structures analyzed were designed for large mode separation,

mxim= interaction inedance, and easy coupling to the output

circuit.

I., INTRODUCTION

This report deals with the rf interaction properties of several anode

structures for high-power, cold-cathode magnetrons. Pphasis is on under-

standing the interaction and on determining how the region of coherent inter-

action with the electron beam can be made as large as possible at a given

frequency so as to maximize the output power.

In a conventional magnetron, the number of resonators is limited by

the requirement of reasonable separation in frequency of the modes. As

the number of resonators increases, the mode separation of even the "strapped"

and "rising-sun" configurations begin to be insufficient..

The structures investigated in this report were chosen as (1) suitable

for construction in the cold-cathode magnetron experiments in this Laboratory,

(2) possessing large mode separation, and (3) having a circuit that is easily

coupled to the output circuit.

One circuit that was tried was a corrugated cylindrical wall with inter-

action bars and coupling channels. This circuit has a 60-percent mode

separation but a rather low interaction impedance for the TM0 mode, since

the minimum electric field occurs at the wall.

The new structures analyzed in this report are free from this difficulty;

however, they do suffer from the disadvantage of being susceptible to possible

multipactor action along the magnetic field resulting from the rf electric

field. This problem probably can be avoided by a careful design of the circuit.

The main assumption made in the analysis is that the axial length of

the structure is much shorter than a free-space wavelength, so that field

variations along the structure can be neglected. Further, it is assumed

that since many bars oriented parallel to the axis are to be used in structure,

the capacity between them and the cylindrical wall is taken to be uniformly

distributed along the cavity circumference. In many cases the capacity between

anode and cathode is neglected.

MKS units are used throughout and only the symbols given other than

common meaning are explained in the text.

which the plate electrodes and bars are connected have been indicated by

dots. The slow-wave structure is on the inside and is surrounded by a con-

centric cold cathode that depends on secondary emission for its electron

current. The TM0 mode that is excited in each cavity makes the bars alter-

nately plus and minus and consequently provides the circumferential rf fields

necessary for magnetron operation. There is a dc magnetic field in the

direction of the z axis.

The gap between the plates of the anode structure in Fig. 1 is denoted

by S , a parmeter chosen so as to minimize the multipactor problem and to

optimize the interaction impedance. In general 8 is small and as a conse-

quence the capacitance for a unit cavity is large, so that the frequency of the

cavity is insensitive to the electron beam interaction as well as to the

proximity of the cathode cylinder. For this reason no conventional "straps"

ae required for this structure.

B. RESONANCE FREQUENCY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL CAVITY

The anode structure shown in Fig. 1 is made with a large number of bars.

Their effect is therefore approximated by an equivalent uniform capacitance

per unit length in the circumferential direction (Fig. 2). The edge effect

of the plate may also be included in this equivalent capacity. It is assumed

that only the z component of the electric field exists inside the cavity

because the gap dimension 6 is small.

In cylindrical coordinates the solution of Maxwell's equations is

given by the following:

Ez = EO [Jn(kP) + ANn(kp)] cos no

H = [Jn'(kp) + ANn'(kp) ] Cos no

H = - j nEo [Jn(kp) + An(kp)] sin no

Pwherek = 2 c 0 n=O, 1, ± 2, ... and A=- Jn(kr)INn(kr). Also,

per unit length, we have

(kR) n (kR) + An (kR) (2)Jn J(kR) + AN (kR) 110

The resonant frequency for the various modes is determined by the above

equations. It is convenient to rewrite these equations in terms of some new

As an example, we take R = 66 mm, = 1/8, 6 =3.5 mm, A = 5 mm,

d = 7.2 rm, and a = 2.5 mm. Then 6/E 0R 0 0.15. The resonant frequency

for the n = 0 and n = 1 modes can be determined as shown graphically in Fig. 3.The results of these calculations are given in Fig. 4. The rate of mode

separation is also given.

If the central cylinder is removed, kR is the first root of J0 (kR) = 0

for the TMo01 mode; the rate of mode separation is about 60 per cent. The

radial dimension of the cavity resulting from Fig. 4 is bigger than the

cavity for J 0 (kR) = 0 if ; > 0.45 and the mode separation is good if - < 0.14.

This structure has a large mode separation for small values of I ;

the rate of mode separation is not significantly affected by the capacitance

of the bars.

C. MEASURET OF THE RESONANT FREQUENCY

A schematic diagram of the cavity used to check the calculated frequencies

is shown in Fig. 5. The cavity was excited and the fields in the cavity

were probed by small antennas inserted into holes as shown in the figure.

The various modes of oscillation were detected by perturbing the fields

with small wires that could be inserted into the drill holes at various

places in the cavity.

The calculated and measured frequencies are compared in Table 1. The

end capacitance per unit circumferential length is taken to be 1/4 of the

capacitance of a coaxial line that has an inner radius of 3 mm and an outer

radius of 6 mm. The calculated and measured values agree to within 3 per cent.

In the calculation of the resonant frequency for this case it was possible

to assume the effective radius R to be equal to 1/2 the distance along the

gap in the cross section of Fig. 5; it is also assumed thatAK is equal to

0. In addition to the tabulated results a 1308-Mc mode was found. This is

a weakly excited n = 1 mode that exists in the coupled structure.

These measurements were repeated with the structure shown in Fig. 6.

The results of these measurements are given in Fig. 7. This structure has

many resonances because of the complicated coupling of the structure. These

frequencies are shown in Fig. 7 in relation to the resonant frequency for the

single cavity, and will be given more detailed consideration below. Results

of another experiment with a similar structure but of different dimensions

are shown in Table 2.

(II. INVERTED MAGMETRON STRUCTURE )

In Fig. 7 the detected frequencies are classified into three levels

according to the amplitude of the oscillation. The amplitude depends on

the method of excitation and thus the classification is not particularly

valuable, although the probes were situated at the correct positions to

measure TM modes. The agreement of theory and experiment is perhaps better

than would be expected in view of the approximations used in determining

the constants.

The end-cavities that were installed for the purpose of terminating

the structure have a resonant frequency different from that of the main

cavities. Therefore they are detected as a different group and are shown

both in Fig. 7 and Table 2. These additional modes are characterized by a

certain number of voltage nodes p of the voltage between adjacent bars in

the z direction. In Fig. 7 the mode for 758 Mc has one node for the value

of p and the configuration given in Table 2 has two nodes for the value of

p. This is a result of the axial length of the latter structure being twice

as long as that of the former.

These additional modes can be avoided by selection of an even number

of main cavities. Then the end plates of the main cavities are connected

with the same bars. It is also important for the number of main cavities

to be even from the viewpoint of eliminating the additional end cavities,

which generally have different resonant frequencies. In general an un-

symmetrical structure at both ends introduces extraneous modes. Care must

be taken to introduce the detecting probe and exciting antenna so as not

to excite extraneous modes. For instance if the probe and antenna are in-

serted in the radial direction separated by an angle of 1200, the usual

n = 1 mode-region has several n = 3 modes apparently excited. Similarly

when the angle is 90 some of the n = 2 modes are excited.

D. AN EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT REPRESENTATION

We can synthesize an equivalent circuit for the structure of Fig. 1

if we assume that the two bars constitute a parallel-wire transmission line

periodically loaded by the reactance of the cavities between the parallel

plates. This equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. 8. The symbol L denoteseq

is changed. The expression for L iseq

The quantity C in Fig. 8 denotes the capacitance between the bars in a

Z is given by

z = COq/(1 c2 CLo) L /I - (C/Ceq)] (7)

The characteristic impedance Z and the phase delay P of the waveC

propagating along the bars can be expressed in terms of the open-circuit

and short-circuit impedance of the transmission line:

cos 0 = cos A= [I - (z/Z O )11/2

where

2A2 + 4ZaL + 2L2Zo=J 2(2Z +L)

(8)

z = cuL(2Z + L)(4Z + l)2(2z2 + Z + 2L2 )

Equation (8)is a good approximation for the n = 0 mode; however, it is

not a good approximation for higher-order modes because of the voltage

variation along the circumference of the plates.

From Eqs. (4) through (8) the phase characteristic diagram and the

is P =&. Also on the abscissa is the characteristic impedance Z dividedc

by the number of bars N (here, 60).

The points AO and A1 denote the conditions where the wave velocity along

the bars is zero and C and L have the value corresponding to paralleleqresonance for each mode (Fig. lla). The points B0 and B1 are at the place

where the conditions for series resonance exist (Fig. llb). Two groups of

circuit elements are possible for such series circuit, as shown in Fig. llb

by the solid and dotted lines. The points C and C are another resonant

condition that can occur for each mode (Fig. llc). The phase difference per

section is X in Fig. llb and 231 or zero in Fig. llc.

The resonances of the structure of Fig. 6 are easily determined from

the result shown in Fig. 10. Since seven main cavities are used, the

resonant conditions are given by A = q/7, where q is an integer. Thus,

from Fig. 10, f = 1250 Mc for q = 1 and f - 1755 Mc for q = 2 for the n = 0

mode. These frequencies are a little higher than the lowest cutoff frequency

for the n = 1 mode, which explains the spectrum of Fig. 7.

E. CAVITY LOSSES AND Q

In this section we shall obtain an estimate of the value of Q for the

unit cavity and the distribution of losses along the cavity surface, assuming

the bars to be absent. The power dissipated per unit area is given by

The first loss term is the plate loss and the second the losses on the

cylindrical portion (p - r).

From Fig. 13 it is obvious that the losses are largest near the central

cylinder. This may present a difficult problem for cooling a high-power

magnetron structure. The problem will be worst for small values of ,which give good mode separation.

F. MODE- SEPARATION IMPROVEMENT

Mode separation can be improved by changing the gap length as a function

of radius, as shown in Fig. 14, since the frequency for each mode changes

differently from the uniform-gap case.

III. CONVENTIONAL-MAMTRON ANODE STRUCTURE

A. ANODE STRUCTURE, SYMBOLS, AND DEFINITIONS

In this section we shall analyze the rf properties of structures such

as shown in Figs. 16 and 17. These configurations are of a conventional

magnetron design where the anode is the outer structure. The configuration

shown in Fig. 16 is a cylindrical one, similar to that analyzed in Sec. II.

The configuration shown in Fig. 17 is suitable for a linear magnetron

amplifier. A direct current flowing along the central structure can produce

a dc magnetic field, so that electrons move in the axial direction owing

to both dc electric and magnetic fields.

B. RESONANT FREQUENCY OF AN INDIVIDUAL CAVITY

Following the analysis given in See. II the resonant frequency for a

unit cavity is calculated with the assumption of uniform capacitive loading

to replace the effects of the bars and the edges at the inner opening. The

resonant frequency is determined from the following formula:

Jn (x)Nn (Cx) - N n(x)Jn (gx) K(n(X, 9 ) = - x (15)

N()Jn(9x) - n(xNn( X) 0

where x = kr = 2Xr/ X 0, 9 = R/r, and K is given by the same expression as

in Eq. (3). For k = 0, the resonance condition is given simply by

Jn '(x)Nn(gx) = Nn'(x)Jn(gx) (16)

The solutions of Eq. (16)for n = 0 and n = 1 modes are shown in Fig. 18.

The mode separation is better for high values of 9 . However, this means a

snaller value of r for a particular R value, and therefore the interaction

space for the electron beam is limited.

Figure 19 gives the relation between rg and the rate of mode separation

for a fixed resonant frequency. For comparison with Fig. 4, Fig. 18 is also

replotted in terms of kR instead of kr and - (r/R) instead of - (R/r).

The resonant frequency of a cavity for a given value of outer radius and

inner to outer radius ratio are much higher-and the interaction space is

maller.

(III. OUM-A0iDE STRUCTRE)

Measured values for the structure are in good agreement with the critically

calculated values. The metal cylinder has little effect on the resonant fre-

quency because of the capacity it introduces. The next step in the measure-

ments was to investigate the effect of a snall number of connecting bars. The

results of these measurements are tabulated in Table 4. It was expected that

the addition of the bars would reduce the n - 0 mode frequency and improve the

mode separation; however, the addition of the bars did not produce this result

as may be seen from a comparison of Parts A and B of Table 4.

If a metal shaft is inserted along the axis, it is expected to produce

the same effect as the bars insofar as their influence on the mode can be

included in the equivalent capacitance. According to Table 4 the mode

separation is worse with the shaft in place whenever the value of R/r is less

than 4 or 5, and the mode separation is better if this ratio is larger. The

resonant frequency calculated for a Type C structure in Table 4 assumes no

capacitive loading and gives f0 2500 Mc and f 1 3380 Mc. The capacitance

of the bars is thus seen to cause a considerable reduction in the resonant

frequency. The Q of some of the cavities was measured approximately from

the resonant curves. The Q for smaller gap lengths was found to be the order

of hundreds and for larger gap lengths, of the order of 1000.

D. EUIVAIZ1 CIRCUITS FOR LINEAR MAGNERTON STRUCTURE

The equivalent circuit for the structure shown in Fig. 16 is the same as

that given in Fig. 8. The equivalent loading reactance in this case is

eq _-1 r Bn-1 (17)

Since the circuit is the same, similar phase characteristics for the two cases

are expected.

The analysis will be carried out for the linear magnetron structure

shown in Fig. 17.

tens of ohms.

Selecting an axial length of q A , where q denotes the total nunber

of sections, we can predict all the resonances of this structure from the

phase characteristic diagram of Fig. 24. Table 5 gives the results between

calculated and measured resonant frequencies for a structure having six

sections. As can be seen there is good agreement between the calculated and

measured values of the resonant frequency. Not every frequency was measured

because of superposition of same modes or difficulty of excitation of sme

The method of Sec. II has been applied to the structure depicted in

Fig. 27. The equations for determining the resonant frequency for various

values of T, and wq are

Table 6 gives the value of x and the mode separation for severalconditions. It is seen that the mode separation is improved by a large q.

This has the disadvantage of a sall r, which may make fabrication of the

structure difficult.

G. COMPARISON OF STRUCTURE OF SECS. II AND III

At a fixed frequency of 1000 Mc, the mode separation and R/r ratio is

given as a function of the interaction space radius B in Fig. 28. We seethat the mode separation is always better for the inverted mgetron structure

The lowest frequency is given by Ax = A . The results from these equations

are given in Table 8 and as can be seen the mode separation is the better

the shorter z;0. Values of 100 per cent or more are easily obtained. However,

this structure is not satisfactory for high-power operation.

D. CYLINRCAL CAVITY

Some experiments in this Laboratory have made use of the TE-mode

structure depicted schematically in Fig. 33. The resonant frequencies

of this structure are given by

For the n - 0 mode the frequency separation is 20.3% assuming no variation

of the fields along the axis. To realize this situation in practice, end

cavities such as shown in Fig. 34 must be used. The dimensions of the end

cavity are obtained by solving Maxwell's equations subject to the boundary

condition of 0 -\JI701 H0o '(kp) for 0 <p R, and E.0 for

Rp< :5 R at the plane z a O. The expression forl 0 at z 0 is

V. CONCLUSIONS

Resonant frequencies and mode separation have been determined for

a conventional and for an inverted magnetron structure. These structures

were chosen for their desirability as high-power magnetron circuits from

the point of view of having the largest possible interaction volume.

It is shown that the circuits proposed here have a better mode

separation than conventional structures such as the "rising sun."4

The structures proposed are easier to fabricate than conventional

circuits.
