High power electron tubes for plasma heating
Description
In view of applications, such as plasma heating, which require, at more or less high frequencies, very high powers (10 kW-1 MW) discussed in this paper are the power capabilities (as a function of frequency) of various well known types of tubes: triodes and tetrodes, klystrons, TWT's, and amplitrons; and of a new development: the gyrocone. As a whole, these tubes can deliver powers of at least 1 MW up to about 10 GHz. Beyond this frequency, the power drops down very rapidly and falls below 1 kW at 100 GHz. However, this limit may be pushed beyond 300 GHz by using cyclotron resonance tubes
Abstract (French)
Certaines opérations, comme le chauffage des plasmas demandent, à des fréquences plus ou moins élevées, des sources de très grande puissance (10 kW-1 MW). On examine les possibilités en puissance, en fonction de la fréquence, de divers types de tubes bien connus comme les triodes et tétrodes, klystrons et TOP, amplitron et, d'un développement nouveau, le gyrocone. Ces tubes, pris dans leur ensemble, peuvent produire des puissances de 1 MW ou plus jusqu'à environ 10 GHz. Au-delà, la chute en puissance est rapide, elle tombe en effet à 1 kW vers 100 GHz. On peut cependant repousser cette limite au-delà de 300 GHz par l'emploi de tubes à résonance cyclotronique.Additional details
