The TWT is a wide-bandwidth, velocity-modulated tube used primarily as an amplifier. The electron beam is bunched by a signal applied to the Helix. The bunching causes an energy transfer from the electron beam to the traveling wave on the helix. The MAGNETRON is a DIODE Oscillator capable of delivering microwave energy at very high power levels. Three fields exist within a magnetron that influence operation: (1) the DC ELECTRIC FIELD between the anode and cathode; (2) the AC ELECTRIC FIELD produced by the oscillating resonant cavities and on the same plane as the dc field; and (3) the Magnetic FIELD produced by the permanent magnet which is perpendicular to the dc electric field. Magnetrons are of two basic types, the Negative-Resistance MAGNETRON and the ELECTRON-RESONANCE MAGNETRON. a diagram of a magnetron is shown at the right.

SOLID-STATE Microwave DEVICES are becoming increasingly widespread in microwave equipment with new developments almost daily. Most of the currently available solid-state devices are two-terminal diodes with the capability to generate or amplify microwave energy. Many of the solid-state devices, such as the TUNNEL DIODE and the BULK-EFFECT DIODE, apply the property of Negative Resistance to amplify microwave signals or generate microwave energy. a characteristic curve illustrating the negative-resistance property of the tunnel diode is shown at the right.
The VARACTOR is a two-terminal diode that acts as a variable capacitance and is the active element of PARAMETRIC AmplifierS. The parametric amplifier is a low-noise microwave amplifier that uses variable reactance to amplify microwave signals. The illustration shows an example of a NONDegenerative PARAMETRIC Amplifier. 2-62

About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Web BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
