rod using a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition technique
which can be taken over the traditional BeO rod and used in the wide-band high power TWT to improve the heat dissipation greatly.After material tests and evaluation
parts assembly and tests
we've got the first good results as follows:Thermal conductivity:>12 W/cm.℃
ten times better than BeO Rod;dielectric constant:ε=5.0~5.5;RF loss:tanδ<1×10
-3;resistivity:ρ>10
13
Ω/cm;slow wave parts assembly thermal test:3.0 times better than BeO.The first TWT with diamond rods has passed all cold tests and has got following hot test results:Δf=4~8GHz
