The cavity accelerating structure generally includes a plurality of accelerating cavities, edge-coupled cavities, bridge couplers, and end-coupled cavities. In the coupled cavity accelerating structure, two adjacent accelerating cavities are communicated through an edge coupled cavity. In order to enable microwaves to enter each accelerating cavity through the transmission of the side coupling cavity and establish a designed accelerating electric field in each accelerating cavity, the cavity frequency and other parameters of the accelerating cavities and the side coupling cavities need to meet the design requirements, therefore, before the accelerating structure of the coupling cavity is used, the frequency and other parameters of each cavity in the accelerating structure of the coupling cavity need to be accurately tested, and the cavity needs to be tuned according to the test result, so that each cavity meets the design requirements.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an edge-coupled cavity measurement apparatus according to some embodiments of the present invention as applied to a coupled cavity acceleration structure. As shown in fig. 1, the coupling cavity accelerating structure 100 includes a plurality of accelerating cavities 110a, 110b and a plurality of edge coupling cavities 130. The plurality of acceleration chambers 110a, 110b are sequentially connected along the first direction D1. The plurality of edge coupling cavities 130 are disposed at both sides of the plurality of acceleration cavities 110 in a second direction D2 substantially perpendicular to the first direction D1. Each edge coupling cavity 130 is coupled to an adjacent accelerating cavity 110a, 110b for electromagnetically coupling the adjacent accelerating cavities 110a, 110 b. The coupled-cavity accelerating structure 100 also includes a beam aperture 150 extending through the plurality of accelerating cavities 110a, 110b along the first direction D1. Each acceleration chamber 110a, 110b communicates with a beam aperture 150 through an acceleration gap 112.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an edge-coupled cavity measurement apparatus and an edge-coupled cavity measurement method, which can be used to test the edge-coupled cavity 130 in the coupled cavity acceleration structure 100, so as to accurately obtain a test result of the edge-coupled cavity 130.

As shown in fig. 1, the edge-coupled cavity measuring apparatus includes a network analyzer 210, a measuring part 230, and a cable 250. The measuring portion 230 may be disposed in the beam-pass hole 150 and connected to the network analyzer 210 through a cable 250.

Specifically, the network analyzer 210 may employ an instrument having a reflection parameter measurement function. For example, the network analyzer 210 may employ a microwave vector network analyzer. The microwave vector network analyzer is a microwave network parameter measuring device and can measure reflection parameters, transmission parameters and the like.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the measuring portion 230 includes a main body 232, a medium 234, and a coaxial wire 236.

The main body 232 may be made of copper, etc., and has a substantially hollow tubular shape. In particular, the body 232 may be a copper tube having an outer diameter that is smaller than an inner diameter of the beam-pass aperture 150.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2 and 3, the main body 232 includes a first extension 2320, a second extension 2322, and a third extension 2324. The first extension 2320 is a hollow tubular structure. The second extension 2322 is a hollow tubular structure. The third extension 2324 is located between the first extension 2320 and the second extension 2322 and connects the first extension 2320 and the second extension 2322.

In particular, the first extension 2320 includes a first axial end face 23201 adjacent to the second extension 2322. The second extension 2322 includes a second axial end face 23220 adjacent the first extension 2320.

The third extension 2324 includes an arc 23240, a top plane 23242 connecting with the arc 23240, and a groove 23246 recessed from the top plane 23242 toward the interior of the third extension 2324. The cambered surface 23240 is located on the same circumferential plane as the outer surface of the first extension 2320 and the outer surface of the second extension 2322. The top plane 23242 is located between the first and second axial end faces 23201 and 23220 and is substantially perpendicular to the first and second axial end faces 23201 and 23220. The top plane 23242 is connected to the bottom of the first and second axial end faces 23201 and 23220, respectively, thereby forming a groove 238 located between the first and second extensions 2320 and 2322 and above the third extension 2324.

The width of the groove 238 in the axial direction of the main body 232, i.e., the first direction D1, is less than the width of the acceleration gap 112 in the first direction D1.

In one embodiment, the length of the main body 232 in the axial direction, i.e., the first direction D1, is at least greater than the length of the three acceleration chambers 110. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the length of the body 232 in the axial direction thereof, i.e., the first direction D1, is greater than the length of the beam-passing hole 150 in the first direction D1, in other words, the body 232 may penetrate through the beam-passing hole 150.

A medium 234 is filled in the body 232. Specifically, the media 234 fills within the first and second extensions 2320 and 2322. In one embodiment, the media 234 may be polytetrafluoroethylene.

In one embodiment, the dielectric 234 is formed with a via 239 therein. The through hole 239 in the medium 234 inside the first extension 2320 may be used to accommodate the coaxial wire 236, and thus, the medium 234 inside the first extension 2320 may support and fix the coaxial wire 236. The through hole 239 in the media 234 within the second extension 2322 may reduce weight.

Coaxial wire 236 is threaded through bore 239 in media 234 within first extension 2320. One end of coaxial wire 236 is provided with magnetic coupling ring 237. Magnetic coupling ring 237 is located in recess 238 and above or within groove 23246. The magnetic coupling loop 237 is used for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals. The other end of coaxial line 236 is provided with a coaxial rf connector for connection to network analyzer 210 via cable 250.

The above is a specific structure of the side-coupled cavity measuring apparatus in an embodiment of the present invention, and a method for measuring the side-coupled cavity by using the side-coupled cavity measuring apparatus to test the side-coupled cavity 130 in the coupled cavity accelerating structure 100 is briefly described below.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of an edge-coupled cavity measurement method for a coupled cavity accelerating structure, according to some embodiments of the invention. As shown in fig. 4, the side-coupled cavity measurement method includes:

step 401: connecting the coaxial rf connector of coaxial cable 236 to network analyzer 210;

step 402: inserting the measuring part 230 into the beam-pass hole 150 of the coupling cavity accelerating structure 100, and placing the groove 238 in the measuring part 230 in the middle of one accelerating cavity 110a adjacent to the side-coupling cavity 130 to be measured, with the opening of the groove 238 facing to the side-coupling cavity 130 to be measured;

step 403: adjusting parameters of network analyzer 210 to measure reflection coefficient S₁₁And obtains the resonant frequency of the side-coupled cavity 130 from the measured reflection coefficient waveform.

In step 401, the measuring portion 230 may be inserted into the beam-aperture 150 of the coupling cavity accelerating structure 100 entirely along the first direction D1.

In step 402, since the main body 232 of the measuring portion 230 passes through the acceleration cavities 110a and 110b on both sides of the side coupling cavity 130 to be measured, and the main body 232 may be made of copper, the acceleration cavities 110a and 110b on both sides of the side coupling cavity 130 to be measured may be short-circuited. Thus, the magnetic coupling ring 237 located in the recess 238 of the main body 232 can only excite the side coupling cavity 130 to be tested. Thus, in step 403, the resonant frequency of the side-coupled cavity 130 can be obtained from the measured reflection coefficient waveform using the reflection parameter measurement function of the network analyzer 210.

In addition, after obtaining the resonant frequency of one of the side-coupled cavities 130, the side-coupled cavity measuring method may further include

Moving the measuring part 230 along the first direction D1 until the groove 238 in the measuring part 230 is positioned in the middle of the adjacent accelerating cavity 110a of the next side coupling cavity 130 to be measured, and the opening of the groove 238 faces to the side of the next side coupling cavity 130 to be measured;

adjusting parameters of network analyzer 210 to measure reflection coefficient S₁₁And obtains the resonant frequency of the next side coupling cavity 130 to be measured according to the measured reflection coefficient waveform.

The length of the main body 232 in the axial direction, that is, the first direction D1, of the main body 232 is at least greater than the lengths of the three acceleration cavities 110, and through the groove 238 on the main body 232 and the magnetic coupling ring 237 located in the groove 38, the acceleration cavities on both sides of the side coupling cavity to be tested can be completely short-circuited, and a space can be reserved for a microwave signal excitation and reception device, so that a test result of the side coupling cavity 130 can be accurately obtained.

It should also be noted that, in the case of the embodiments of the present invention, features of the embodiments and examples may be combined with each other to obtain a new embodiment without conflict.

The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the scope of the present invention is subject to the scope of the claims.
