Abstract

Detailed numerical simulations have been done to investigate the properties of multipactor breakdown in circular waveguides operating in the propagating fundamental TE11 mode. Main attention has been given to a comparison between the two fundamental cases corresponding to linear and circular polarizations, respectively, of the propagating electromagnetic wave. It is found that circular polarization is considerably more susceptible to multipactor than linear polarization. The reason for this difference is clarified by a comprehensive study of the electron motion in the waveguide.

Analysis of the multipactor effect in circular waveguides excited by two orthogonal polarization waves

Journal Article Pérez, A.; Boria, V.; Gimeno, B.; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Circular waveguides, either employed as resonant cavities or as irises connecting adjacent guides, are widely present in many passive components used in different applications (i.e., particle accelerators and satellite subsystems). In this paper, we present the study of the multipactor effect in circular waveguides considering the coexistence of the two polarizations of the fundamental TE{sub 11} circular waveguide mode. For a better understanding of the problem, only low multipactor orders have been explored as a function of the polarization ellipse eccentricity. Special attention has been paid to the linear and circular polarizations, but other more general configurations have also beenmore » explored.« less

A PLANAR, RECTANGULAR WAVEGUIDE LAUNCHER AND EXTRACTOR FOR A DUAL-MODED RF POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Technical Report Nantista, Christopher

The desire to reduce the amount of low-loss, circular-waveguide delay line required in a pulse-compressing power distribution system for the Next Linear Collider has led to the pursuit of multi-moded schemes [1]. In such a system, power is delivered to different destinations through the same waveguide via different propagating modes. Current plans [2] utilize two modes, with manipulations done primarily in overmoded rectangular guide. We describe two key components of the system, a four-input/four-output, dual-mode launcher and an extractor for diverting one mode from the delay line to an accelerator feed while allowing the other to pass on to anmore »« less

Conceptual design of $X$ band waveguide dual circular polarizer

Journal Article Xu, Chen; Tantawi, Sami; Wang, Juwen - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

We present in this paper a new design of dual circular polarizer. This innovative design converts radiofrequency (rf) energy from TE10 mode in a rectangular waveguide to two polarized TE11 modes in a circular waveguide. A reflection less than ₋20 db is achieved and breakdown field is less than 42 MV/m at input of 1 MW. Meanwhile, this polarizer has a megahertz bandwidth, and the thermal stability is also discussed. This device can be used for broadcasting and receiving the circular polarized signals.

Particle-in-cell simulation of multipactor discharge on a dielectric in a parallel-plate waveguide

Journal Article Ivanov, V.; Konyzhev, M. - Plasma Physics Reports

An original 2D3V (two-dimensional in coordinate space and three-dimensional in velocity space) particle-in-cell code has been developed for simulation of multipactor discharge on a dielectric in a parallelplate metal waveguide with allowance for secondary electron emission (SEE) from the dielectric surface and waveguide walls, finite temperature of secondary electrons, electron space charge, and elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons from the dielectric and metal surfaces. The code allows one to simulate all stages of the multipactor discharge, from the onset of the electron avalanche to saturation. It is shown that the threshold for the excitation of a single-surface multipactor onmore »« less

Multipactor in rectangular waveguides

Journal Article Semenov, V; Rakova, E; Anderson, D; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Multipactor inside a rectangular waveguide is studied using both an analytical approach and numerical simulations. Particular attention is given to an analysis of the role of such effects as the velocity spread of secondary emitted electrons and the action of the rf magnetic field on the electron motion. Conventional resonance theory is shown to give correct predictions for the multipactor threshold in cases where the height of the waveguide is very small and first order resonance multipactor dominates. In cases of higher order resonances, an accurate prediction of the multipactor threshold requires that the spread of the normal component ofmore »« less
