Thermal Analysis of Main Components in The Design of High-power Tetrode

High-power tetrode is a key component in ion cyclotron resonance heating system, as the final amplifier component to increase the RF power to the megawatt level. Thermal analysis is of important significance to the development and use of high-power tetrodes. In this paper, the trajectory of particles during the operation of the tetrode is obtained by CST particles studio, and its energy conversion is analyzed through the simulation results. Then the grid, anode, and support structure of the tetrode are analyzed thermally in Ansys Workbench, and the results are helpful to the design of the heat dissipation structure of the tetrode.
