Zusammenfassung:We present the design of an oscillator that is an evolution of our previously proposed “clamp klystron.” In this new embodiment, we utilize sloping cavities and increase the operating frequency to 94 GHz and 100 GHz (W-band). In this study, we utilized the UNIPIC particle-in-cell code. Simulations confirmed that this new oscillator with one sloping “buncher” cavity and one sloping “catcher” cavity with an inclination angle of 5° and shaped like a “clamp” produces 700 kW output power with an efficiency of 7.1% at 94 GHz when powered using an applied voltage U = 90 kV and beam current 110 A. When one sloping “buncher” cavity and one sloping “catcher” cavity are utilized with an inclination angle of 15°, the oscillator produces 270 kW output power with 3.0% efficiency at 100 GHz when powered using the same electron beam parameters. If two oscillators with sloping cavities along the z-axis are combined serially, then the output power can be as high as 800 kW with 8.0% efficiency at 100 GHz. This new oscillator design can be a promising approach to high power millimeter wave source designs at W-band and higher frequencies.
