Investigation of the operating characteristics of a 12-cavity rising-sun relativistic magnetron with diffraction output using particle-in-cell simulations
Abstract
We report on the performance of a 12-cavity rising-sun relativistic magnetron with diffraction output (12-cavity rising-sun RMDO). Particle-in-cell simulations show an electronic efficiency of 70% for a gigawatt output power 12-cavity rising-sun RMDO with a transparent cathode operating in the π mode for an applied voltage of U∼400 kV ±50 kV. When the RMDO is driven by the “F” transparent cathode, which is a coaxial transparent cathode, the axial leakage current can be reduced by about 50%.
