High Power Magnetron Testbed for Metamaterial Cathodes
Abstract
This final report describes the acquisition and installation of instrumentation purchased under the auspices of the FY2012 DURIP program. All of the proposed instrumentation has been acquired and initial testing will be underway by the end of Fall 2013. The purpose of the acquired instrumentation was to prepare a high power microwave (HPM) testbed to assess metamaterial cathodes. A relativistic magnetron with diffraction output (MDO) is the HPM source that was custom manufactured in order to be used as the testbed. The instrumentation acquired can be summarized as comprising two systems: System I - Magnetron with Diffraction Output (Construction of MDO, Vacuum System Components, Pulsed Magnetic System Charging and Control System II - Microwave Diagnostics to Characterize the Output Graduate and undergraduate student education was an important component of the installation of the acquired instrumentation.
