Characteristic study of the periodically iris-loaded elliptical waveguide for slow-wave structures

摘要

The slow-wave characteristics taking no account of space harmonics for periodically iris-loaded elliptical waveguides is presented. By using the field-matching method, the dispersion equation and the mean interaction impedance for odd and even hybrid modes of this structure are derived respectively. It is indicated from the numerical calculation results that changing the eccentricity can improve the dispersion characteristics and the interaction impedance for oHEM01 mode.
