A high harmonic gyrotron with an axis-encircling electron beam and a permanent magnet

A gyrotron with an axis-encircling electron beam is capable of high-frequency operation, because the high-beam efficiency is kept even at high harmonics of the electron cyclotron frequency. We have designed and constructed such a gyrotron with a permanent magnet. The gyrotron has already operated successfully at the third, fourth, and fifth harmonics. The frequencies are 89.3, 112.7, and 138 GHz, respectively, and the corresponding cavity modes are TE/sub 311/, TE/sub 411/, and TE/sub 511/. The permanent magnet system is quite novel and consists of many magnet elements made of NbFeB and additional coils for controlling the field intensities in the cavity and electron gun regions. The magnetic field in the cavity region can be varied from 0.97 to 1.18 T. At the magnetic field intensities, the output powers at the third and the fourth harmonics are 1.7 and 0.5 kW, respectively. The gyrotron is pulsed, the pulse length is 1 ms and the repetition frequency is 1 Hz. The beam energy is 40 kV and the beam current is 1.2-1.3 A. Beam efficiencies and emission patterns have also been measured. In this paper, the experimental results of the gyrotron are described and compared with computer simulations

Radiation output system for planar gyrotron

Gyrotrons with planar resonator cavity offer some advantages over conventional cylindrical ones for submillimetre wavelengths. The radiation in the planar gyrotron should be converted from the mixture of several high modes of the rectangular waveguide into the Gaussian beam with high efficiency. For the experimental 145 GHz gyrotron, a two- channel output is considered. Both channels consist of waveguide converter and two convex mirrors and direct the radiation through the single output window. Calculated total efficiency of the system exceeds 98%

Vision System for Relative Motion Estimation from Optical Flow

For the recent years there was an increasing interest in different methods of motion analysis based on visual data acquisition. Vision systems, intended to obtain quantitative data regarding motion in real time are especially in demand. This paper talks about the vision systems that allow the receipt of information on relative object motion in real time. It is shown, that the algorithms solving a wide range of practical problems by definition of relative movement can be generated on the basis of the known algorithms of an optical flow calculation. One of the system's goals is the creation of economically efficient intellectual sensor prototype in order to estimate relative objects motion based on optic flow. The results of the experiments with a prototype system model are shown
