[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a high power klystron cavity;
In particular, it relates to a tuning frequency variable mechanism for cavities that handle extremely high power.

A high-power multi-cavity klystron has high gain and high efficiency, but has a narrow bandwidth, so the cavity generally has a variable tuning mechanism to change its resonant frequency. To change the resonant frequency of the cavity, there are two methods: changing the inductance of the cavity, changing the capacitance, or both.
Each is applied to klystrons.

FIG. 2 shows a conventional example in which the resonant frequency of the cavity is varied by changing the capacitance. In Fig. 2, 1 is a cavity wall, 2 is a drift tube, 3 is a capacitor plate,
5 indicates a bellows. By bringing the capacitive plate closer to the drift tube, the capacitance of the cavity increases and the resonant frequency of the cavity can be lowered. In the cavity shown in FIG. 2, since the bellows is located inside the cavity, a high frequency current inside the cavity flows through the bellows, and in the case of a high-power klystron, there is a problem that the bellows melts. Furthermore, although FIG. 3 shows a conventional example of a structure in which the bellows is disposed outside the cavity wall, in this case as well, high-frequency current flows into the bellows part from the gap between the capacitive plate support rod 4 and the cavity wall. There were cases where the bellows discharged or melted due to resonance in the parts.

The present invention provides a high-power klystron having a high-frequency circuit section consisting of a plurality of cavities, in which the cavity has a capacitor plate and a capacitor plate support rod, and (a) the capacitor plate support rod can touch the cavity wall without contacting it. Penetrate and place approximately in the center of the cavity wall hole. (b) The diameter of the capacitor plate support rod and the diameter of the cavity wall hole are determined so as to provide a cut-off for the TE 11 wave, which is three times the operating frequency. (c) The bellows is placed outside the cavity wall, and the bellows
The feature is that the shape of the bellows part is selected so that there is no resonance due to TE 11 waves and TEM waves.

Here, the reason why the capacitor plate support rod and the cavity wall are not in contact is to mechanically facilitate the movement of the capacitor plate, and the reason why the support rod is placed in the center is to make the cavity wall non-contact. Viewed from the gap, the high frequency current inside the cavity is
This is because it becomes a TE wave and not a TEM wave.
Of course, it is not possible to place it perfectly in the center, so the eccentricity flows into the bellows side as a TEM wave. Furthermore, the reason why the liquid is limited to 3x liquid is that in a klystron, waves beyond that level will be at a considerably low level, and will not pose a problem in practice even in an ultra-high power klystron.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of one embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a cavity wall 1, a drift tube 2, and a capacitive plate 3 constitute a cavity, and a capacitive plate support rod 4 penetrates the cavity wall and protrudes to the outside, and is sealed by a bellows 5. There is. The capacitive plate support rod 4 is driven from the outside to change the resonance frequency.

Now, considering up to 3f 0 , the cutoff wavelength λ c for the TE 11 wave is λ c ≒ 2/π (A + B), so A and B are determined to satisfy (A + B) < 2/π・C 3f 0 . ing.

Also, for the bellows part, the cutoff wavelength λ c is λ c ≒ 2/π (A + D), so the pipe wavelength λ g is λ g = λ/3/√1 - (λ/3/λ c ) becomes 2 . Letting the length of the bellows be l, l and D are determined so that l<1/2λ g . Here, D is the average diameter of the bellows. In this way, if l and D are determined, TE wave resonance will not occur in the space of the bellows part. Also, T.E.M.
Regarding waves, l is also determined so that l<1/2 (λ/3). Therefore, resonance of TEM waves does not occur.
