An S-band multistage axial virtual cathode oscillator with efficiency enhancement for high pulsed power electromagnetic applications is presented. The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) results of the designed 5-stage Vircator, with two-step negative tapering in the reflectors, carried out by CST Studio suite 2021 simulation code show a peak power value of 5.54 GW and an efficiency value of 13.65% at 2.45 GHz, under a beam voltage and current equal to 520 kV and 20 kA, respectively.

Abstract

An S-band multistage axial virtual cathode oscillator with efficiency enhancement for high pulsed power electromagnetic applications is presented. The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) results of the designed 5-stage Vircator, with two-step negative tapering in the reflectors, carried out by CST Studio suite 2021 simulation code show a peak power value of 5.54 GW and an efficiency value of 13.65% at 2.45 GHz, under a beam voltage and current equal to 520 kV and 20 kA, respectively.
