Latitude and amplitude modulation of the beam current for controlling its power during a submillisecond pulse
Methods for controlling the power electron beam in a source based on a low-pressure arc discharge with layer stabilization of the emission plasma boundary are described. The control is carried out by the method of amplitude and latitude modulation within the duration of the beam current pulse with a time resolution of 10 μs at a submillisecond pulse duration. Two ways to control the power of the electron beam are implemented: the first one is based on changing the concentration of the emission plasma by modulating the arc discharge current, the second method uses grid control (the mode of operation of the plasma triode) at the constant discharge current. Simplified diagrams of the power supply sources of the discharge and intergrid control voltage, typical oscillograms of the main currents of the discharge system, a graph of a quick-acting power change, and a control characteristic of a plasma triode are presented.
