Abstract
Summary form only given, as follows. We have numerically simulated the high power microwave generation by virtual cathode oscillation in a coaxial vircator with 3 dimensional PIC code Magic. It is noted that the coaxial vircator has the advantage of an enhancement of power efficiency and gaining of narrow bandwidth frequency. The study is focused on the design of a diode structure for a coaxial vircator suitable for Chundoong IREB pulser (Max. 600 kV, 85 kA, 60 ns). It consists of a center annular cathode, a cylindrical meshed-anode and a reflector. The simulation results showed that the coaxial vircator can indeed be operated at the selected frequency with the narrow bandwidth and the microwave output power strongly depends on the position and geometry of the reflector. From this simulation results we expect that the maximum microwave output power will be obtained by the reflector of 4 cm in width and also 4 cm in distance away from the IREB, where the resonant frequency of microwave from coaxial vircator is simulated to be 6.577 GHz.
