Simulation of the Helical Slow-Wave Structure of a High-Power Traveling-Wave Tube

摘要

The electrodynamic characteristics of the helical slow-wave structure of a high-power pulse traveling-wave tube operating in the centimeter wavelength range are calculated by means of the solution of the dispersion equation and simulation. Special attention is focused on the effect of a helix wire profile on the electrodynamic characteristics of the system. The results of the theoretical study are compared with the experimental data.
