Abstract

AbstractA device for converting microwave power into either DC power or low-frequency AC power has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Rotational energy is stored in an electron beam by a Cuccia coupler, then converted to longitudinal energy by interaction with a space-dependent DC magnetic field, and finally recovered as electric energy by a depressed collector.A simple kinematic analysis demonstrates that the Cuccia coupler can convert large amounts of microwave power into electron beam rotation. Limits on the electric field strength and asynchronism between signal frequency and cyclotron frequency are established for both classical and relativistic coupler operation.Efficiency analyses of the process of conversion from orbital energy to DC electric energy, both classical and relativistic indicate that the efficiency exceeds 95 percent for a particular range of operating conditions. As an AC power supply, the device responds to the modulating frequency of the signal. Theory predicts...
