Abstract
AbstractThe electromagnetic simulation of the monolithic radial transmission lines for future Z-pinch was performed. Focusing on the difference in the maximum transmitted power efficiency between the electromagnetic simulation and the circuit simulation, the monolithic radial transmission lines with different impedance profile (exponential, Gaussian, hyperbolic) were compared. The power efficiency for the exponential line is higher than that for the Gaussian lines and the hyperbolic line, which is similar to that from the circuit simulation. However, all the power efficiencies obtained with the electromagnetic simulation are about 15% lower than those obtained with the circuit simulation, indicating the existence of considerable non-TEM modes and a non-ignorable error in the circuit simulation based on the quasi-TEM mode approximation. In consideration of several monolithic radial transmission lines being stacked together and the flat electrodes required by the stacked lines, the hyperbolic line was compared with the exponential line with several wide radial slots cut on the flat electrodes. While the hyperbolic line has a little bit lower transmitted power efficiency than that of the exponential line, it is much easier in fabrication. For this reason, the hyperbolic line was recommended as the best choice.
