“…1, four criteria guided the future RM design presented in this article. To reduce leakage currents and improve power efficiency, it is common to add endcaps at each end of the cathode [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [15], [16], [17]. Based on the 3-D designs, we judged the structure's ability to add endcaps while maintaining power-handling capacity.…”

In this article, we present a compact efficient and frequency tunable relativistic magnetron (RM) with what we have named a reducing coaxial section (RCS) and with tilted tuners. The RCS is a conical-shaped part inserted in front of the output window. The design is adapted to the compact Marx generator of the Concept Léger Aéroporté d'Illuminateur RadioElectrique (CEA)-Gramat demonstrator-Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CLAIRE)-and meets technical requirements such as input impedance (specifically during frequency shifting), mechanical dimensions, power handling capacity, and electromagnetic (EM) mode. Special care has been taken to lower the EM mode competition, which occurs with specific geometry, extraction waveguide with high dimensions, and/or frequency shifting. To mitigate this effect, the output waveguide diameter was decreased by means of the RCS design. Another challenge was to operate frequency shifting by adding tuners while maintaining high power handling. The premise is that cathode endcap spheres and tilted tuners theoretically reduce the electric field strength from 600 to 280 kV/cm. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation exhibits an output power (averaged over the pulse duration) that reaches 680 MW at 1.85 GHz. The corresponding maximum power efficiency is about 50% when the applied voltage is 380 kV, and the current intensity is about 3.8 kA. The frequency operating range is above 19% from 1.85 to 2.25 GHz.

Relativistic magnetron (RM) with all cavity-magnetron axial extraction (ACMAE) has attracted much attention, benefiting from its good performance. In this paper, RM with ACMAE is generalized to a general case called RM with azimuthal-periodic-cavity extraction due to the introduction of two structure parameters of R and S, where R indicates the number of cavities between the two extraction cavities in a coupling waveguide and S indicates the number of cavities between two adjacent coupling waveguides. The necessary conditions for mode excitation of the RM are theoretically investigated and verified by simulations. Using the expression of the necessary conditions, one can easily figure out the output mode components of the RM in theory according to the structural parameters and the number of electron spokes. This new technique provides more solving schemes with different extraction structures for designing high performance RMs with different advantages in applications of high power microwave.
