A 
magnetic field modulated multi-target X-
ray source for spatial X-
ray communication comprises a 
cathode structure, a focusing groove, an 
electron emission source, a glass shell, a 
Kovar alloy ring, afocusing 
electrode, a modulation electromagnetic device, a multi-target 
metal anode, and a transmission window. The 
cathode is connected with a negative 
high voltage, the 
electron emission source isdisposed in the focusing groove, the glass shell and the focusing 
electrode are in tight 
coupling by the 
Kovar alloy ring, the modulation electromagnetic device is disposed near the multi-target metalanode, the multi-target 
metal anode is grounded, and one side is facing a focus channel and the other side is plated on the transmission window layer. The 
magnetic field modulated multi-target X-raysource utilizes a fast-responding high-
frequency modulation magnetic field, changes the 
electron motion trajectory to bombard the multi-target 
metal anode, excites characteristic X-rays of different energies, and uses characteristic X-rays of different energies as 
signal transmission carriers to solve the problem that the existing 
intensity modulation X-
ray source technology is less in loading symbol 
signal and low in communication rate. The magnetic field modulated multi-target X-ray source has the advantages of multiple types of loading symbol signals and large communication rate.
