Disclosed herein is a high-power device for supplying a radiofrequency electromagnetic field to a waveguide. The device comprises a magnetron configured to supply a radiofrequency electromagnetic field to a waveguide and a control unit configured to control the magnetron to output radiofrequency energy to the waveguide. The magnetron comprises a high voltage pulse connection enclosed in an enclosure, a heater connection configured to allow an electrical connection to penetrate the enclosure and a mechanism configured to transmit data between the magnetron and the control unit.

A magnetron includes an anode cylindrical body, a plurality of vanes, a cathode filament, an input-side magnetic pole, an output-side magnetic pole, and a choke structure. The anode cylindrical body has a cylindrical shape with an input-side opening part and an output-side opening part. The plurality of vanes is radially disposed from a central axis of the anode cylindrical body to an inner wall surface of the anode cylindrical body. The cathode filament is disposed along the central axis of the anode cylindrical body. The input-side magnetic pole and the output-side magnetic pole are disposed on the input-side opening part and the output-side opening part, respectively. The choke structure is seamlessly formed and disposed so as to cover an opening rim of the input-side magnetic pole with respect to the central axis of the anode cylindrical body.

Provided are a magnetron whose resonance frequency is easily adjusted and a method of adjusting a resonance frequency of the magnetron. A magnetron includes an anode cylinder extending in a cylindrical shape along a central axis, a plurality of tabular vanes each having at least one end fixed to the anode cylinder and extending toward the central axis from an inner surface of the anode cylinder, and pressure-equalizing rings disposed coaxially with respect to the central axis of the anode cylinder, and alternately electrically connecting the tabular vanes to each other. The tabular vanes have protrusions facing the pressure-equalizing rings in an axial direction of the anode cylinder, and notches serving as base points for deforming the protrusions toward the pressure-equalizing rings sides or opposite sides thereto.

A magnetron cooling fin has a flat plate shape in which one or a plurality of corrugated regions are formed in a body of the magnetron cooling fin to improve cooling efficiency thereof. A magnetron cooling fin in which a corrugated region processed to increase a contact area in contact with air is formed around a through-hole through which an anode unit of a magnetron passes, thereby improving cooling efficiency thereof.

Technology is described for vacuum electron device (e.g., sheet beam klystron) that includes a hollow tube structure. In one example, the hollow tube structure includes at least three resonant cavities and at least two drift tube sections. Each resonant cavity includes a cavity width along a major axis and a cavity height along a minor axis. Each drift tube section includes a drift tube section width and a drift tube section height, and the cavity height is greater than the drift tube section height. A first drift tube section is disposed between a first resonant cavity and a second resonant cavity. A second drift tube section is disposed between the second resonant cavity and a third resonant cavity. A drift tube section width of the first drift tube section is substantially different from a drift tube section width of the second drift tube section.

Provided is a cooling block formed in a columnar shape in an outer periphery of an anode cylindrical body of a high power industrial magnetron, in which the cooling block includes, at different positions in a vertical direction, two or more flow paths through which refrigerant flows, and the flow paths closest to each other in the vertical direction are connected to each other by at least one or more connection flow paths in the cooling block.

An arrangement of conduction-cooled travelling wave tubes includes multiple travelling wave tubes mounted on a common base, wherein the travelling wave tubes are thermally connected to the base so that during operation of the travelling wave tubes the base forms a heat sink for the travelling wave tubes, and the base is designed to accommodate multiple travelling wave tubes in terms of their dimensions along their beam axes so as to increase the number of travelling wave tubes per surface area unit of the base.

A microwave energy source that generates a microwave energy is disclosed. The microwave energy source has an on-state and an off-state. A control circuit is coupled to the microwave energy source and includes an output to generate a control signal that adjusts a pulse frequency of the microwave energy. A voltage generator applies a non-zero voltage to the microwave energy source during the off-state. A frequency and a duty cycle of the non-zero voltage is based on a frequency and a duty cycle of the control signal. A waveguide is coupled to the microwave energy source. The waveguide has a supply gas inlet that receives a supply gas, a reaction zone that generates a plasma, a process inlet that injects a raw material into the reaction zone, and an outlet that outputs a powder based on a mixture of the supply gas and the raw material within the plasma.
