A Fundamental Study on Spectral Purity of a CW Magnetron for Microwave Power Transmission

The objective of the present study is to investigate spectral purity of a CW magnetron for a microwave power transmission system of Solar Power Satellites, or other radio applications. Oscillation spectra of a 2.45GHz oven magnetron were measured and the purity of the spectra is discussed. A filament-off magnetron has narrow bandwidth. In some conditions, however, the oscillation spectrum has FM noise due to a power supply ripple. An injection locking method contributes to reducing the FM noise.
