Electromagnetic field compensation to attenuate energy leakage in TM020 mode damped cavity

This paper discusses the TM020 mode Higher-order Mode (HOM) damped cavity, which has a higher quality factor and lower characteristic impedance than the conventional TM010 mode. The unique electromagnetic field (EMF) distribution of the TM020 mode allows for an absorber to be placed at the magnetic field wave node, protecting the working mode while suppressing the HOMs. However, the introduction of high power input couplers and other structures can cause an asymmetrical EMF distribution, leading to operating mode leakage. To address this, EMF compensation methods are applied to the high power input coupler to achieve symmetrical EMF distribution, reducing operating mode loss. Overcoupling of the high power input coupler and the resonant cavity can significantly affect local EMF distribution, causing TM020 mode asymmetry. A tab structure at the coupler port are used to compensate for coupler-induced perturbations, attenuating EMF leakage. The paper proposes electromagnetic compensation structure schemes to mitigate working mode EMF leakage. The reliability of the scheme is demonstrated by the analysis of radiofrequency performance and other aspects through simulation software.
