Abstract

A new curved-profile undepressed collector designed for a planned 35-GHz gyrotron traveling-wave tube (gyro-TWT) is proposed in this paper. This gyro-TWT, which is driven by a 70-kV, 10-A electron beam, is working at the fundamental TE01 mode with an efficiency of 20% and gain of 45 dB. Studies including theoretical analysis, numerical calculation, and computational simulation have been done. Key issues concerning electronic collecting density, dissipated power distribution, transmission performance, secondary electrons, and thermal property are considered. Simulation results show that curved-profile structure collector has a better heat-handling capacity than the conventional line structure collector.
