Abstract: 

Purpose of this work is to study modes and conditions that make it possible to excite the highest type of microwave oscillations, the frequency of which is a multiple of the frequency of the main type, in a monotron with a three-band resonator. Method of the investigation is a numerical 3D modeling, used to calculate the dimensions and electrodynamic parameters of the resonator (characteristic impedance, coupling coefficient, relative electronic conductivity); operation modes of the monotron are considered, which are characterized by excitation of oscillations in the highest type oscillations. Result. In the resonator under consideration, it is possible to achieve a multiple (equal to three) ratio between the frequency of the 25th highest type of oscillations and the frequency of the π/2-type. It was shown that in such resonator simultaneous excitation of electromagnetic field on those frequencies can be made. The maximum of an output power achieved at 100.22 GHz is 15.4 W with an accelerating voltage of 7825 V and an electronic beam microperveance 0.36 µA/V3/2 . The maximal efficiency on a third harmonic is 0.83% while the total efficiency (generating electromagnetic waves of the first and the third harmonics) is up to 17%. Conclusion. It was set that the described method of generation of terahertz range radiation is promising for further investigation, as it solves problem that orthodox microwave devices meet in the millimeter wavelength range, such as small linear dimensions of the components and critical current density of the electronic beam.
