The Multifrequency Spectral Eulerian (MUSE) Model of a Traveling Wave Tube
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive from Eulerian electron beam equations the multifrequency spectral Eulerian (MUSE) model, a new onedimensional (1-D) nonlinear multifrequency model of a traveling wave tube (TWT). We also derive from the same equations a Lagrangian “disk” model, LATTE, so that MUSE may be directly compared to a Lagrangian approach. The models are compared to the large signal code Christine 1-D on a set of TWT parameters which are based on a single section of the Hughes 8537H L-band TWT. Aspects of the physics, nonlinearities, and simulation dimensions of the MUSE model are discussed, as well as its relation to the method of collective variables. A simplified MUSE model S-MUSE useful for analysis is also presented and its applications are discussed.

New Nonlinear Multifrequency TWT Model
We outline a new nonlinear multifrequency Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) model based on Eulerian electron beam equations. We identify and illustrate with preliminary examples types of problems the model may be applied to. In particular, the model is well suited to accommodate many closelyspaced frequencies in simulation and analysis.
متن کاملSecond Harmonic Reduction of Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier Using Ferrite Material
Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) consist of different elements. The most important element of TWT is the RF circuit. RF circuits in helix TWTs need a dielectric support to hold the helix; this support also has an effect in electromagnetic properties of RF circuits. A novel dielectric support is proposed to reduce the second harmonic of helix TWTs. The dielectric support in this structure consists of...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Twt Nonlinearities and Distortion Suppression by Signal Injection
Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) amplifiers are high power, often broadband microwave amplifiers used extensively in satellite communications and electronic countermeasures. While the high-power outputs and wide gain-bandwidths make TWTs ideally suited for these purposes, the nonlinearity of these devices results in amplitude, phase and spectral distortion. Nonlinear distortion products appear as harm...

The structure of a steady state multifrequency model of a traveling wave tube amplifier is exploited to describe the generation of intermodulation frequencies and calculate their growth rates. The model describes the evolution of Fourier coefficients of circuit and electron beam quantities and has the form of differential equations with quadratic nonlinearities. Intermodulation frequencies are ...

Modeling and simulation of communication circuits at high frequency are important challenges ahead in the design and construction of these circuits. Knowing the fact that the lumped element model is not valid at high frequency, distributed analysis is presented based on active and passive transmission lines theory. In this paper, a lossy transmission line model of traveling wave switch (TWSW) i...
