Abstract
The metallic grating structure is usually used in the Cherenkov maser. In order to further improve the gain and bandwidth of the sheet beam metallic grating waveguide system, the beam can be with initial transverse and axial velocity instead of pure axial velocity. In this situation, the sheet helical beam will interact with several space harmonics waves simultaneously, and then, the combined cyclotron and Cherenkov resonances can be utilized. Based on the linear theory, the “hot” dispersion equation of the sheet beam metallic grating cyclotron maser is derived and calculated. Through the numerical calculations, the contribution of each resonance, and the influence of beam voltage, the magnetic field and transverse to axial velocity ratio on the gain and bandwidth are analyzed. Besides, the effects of the beam voltage and magnetic field on the growth rate are also simulated, which can further verify the accuracy of the theoretical calculations. This analysis shows the potential of the sheet helical beam with a metallic grating waveguide system, which can be further studied and applied in the future.
