JINR-IAP FEM oscillator with Bragg resonator

Abstract

A FEM-oscillator with a reversed guide magnetic field and a Bragg resonator as a RF radiation source for collider applications was studied. The configuration with a step of the corrugation phase is proved to be advantageous. It possesses such features as a high efficiency, precise tunability of the operating frequency and a narrow spectral band. It is demonstrated experimentally that such an oscillator is capable of operating at frequencies of ~30 GHz in single-mode regime with the frequency tuning in interval up to 6%. Frequency and spectrum measurements have been performed with precision of ~0.1%.
