On the Analysis and Suppression of Oscillations in High-Power Traveling-Wave Tubes

摘要

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the question of stability in high-power TWT's, both as to the concepts and the theoretical description of the possible types of instabilities (oscillations) that can occur and as to the possible schemes for making the tube stable (oscil lation suppression schemes). The questions of gain, bandwidth, and efficiency were only considered peripherally in connection with the evaluation of certain oscillation suppression schemes.
