MAGNETIC SYSTEMS OF KLYSTRONS


Magnets of type MAEP30HSs (produced according to the registered technical specifications ТУ 1984-001-18785310-2003 of the Megapolis Technologies, Ltd.) are widely applied for the focusing systems with regular and reversal magnetic fields used in single- and multibeam klystrons.

Outstanding hysteresis parameters of the Nd-Fe-B magnets of type MAEP30HSs play a key role in reducing the overall mass of the magnetic systems in mobile devices. Moreover, the cost/performance considerations become important in commercial production when the magnetic system mass reaches tens of kilograms.

Figure 3 shows the field pattern of a reversal magnetic focusing system with two reversals of the field. The system called "Tulip" is produced according to the technical specifications МАЕР.684116.125 and applied in a multibeam (29 beams) pulsed amplifying klystron with a screened cathode.
Field pattern, distribution of the longitudinal (BZ) and transversal (Br) components of the magnetic field, and the pulsations of the central and peripheral parts of the electron beam about the center of one of the flight channels in an wide band amplifying klystron. R0 is the flight channel radius

This systems features the following parameters: narrow field reversal regions, homogeneity of the longitudinal field in regular regions better than 4%, and transversal field component along the beam below 3 mTesla. This ensures a high current flow ratio in the device.

Up to date 18 magnetic focusing devices (with and without field reversal) are produced commercially. Eight more devices are under development.
