A study of the discrete electron-wave interaction for the passbands and stopbands of TWT slow-wave systems

摘要

The fourth power algebraic characteristic equation is obtained for the wave number of the individual electron waves that exist in periodic slow-wave systems(SWS) with discrete electron-wave interaction. The study of properties of these waves and the solution of the corresponding boundary-value problem have been performed. It has allowed to find some properties of electron-wave interaction which are different or are identical to the SWS with discrete interactions or "smooth" SWS, for example helical SWS.
