description In this paper, a dual-band radiation system for a complex magnetically insulated line oscillator (MILO) is designed and investigated numerically. The radiation system comprises a coaxial plate-inserted mode converter, a power combiner and a conical horn antenna. The mode converter converts the coaxial TEM mode microwaves (1.775 GHz and 3.175 GHz) which are generated by the complex MILO into the coaxial TE11 mode microwaves, and then the coaxial TE11 mode microwaves are combined by the power combiner in a circular waveguide. Lastly, the microwaves are radiated by a conical horn antenna into the air. The gains of the dual-band radiation system are calculated to be 17.8 dB at 1.775 GHz and 18.9 dB at 3.175 GHz. The 3 dB beam widths are 20.5° in E-plane, 26.4° in H-plane at 1.775 GHz and 20.8° in E-plane, 15.1° in H-plane at 3.175 GHz. The power transmission efficiencies of the dual-band radiation system are 98.5% at 1.775 GHz and 95.7% at 3.175 GHz respectively. The power handling capacities of the dual-band radiation system are 4.2 GW at 1.775 GHz and 4.7 GW at 3.175 GHz, respectively.
