Effect of Plasma and Dielectric Loading on the Slow-Wave Properties of a Traveling-Wave Tube
نویسندگان
چکیده
The slow-wave dispersive properties of a traveling-wave tube (TWT) changes considerably when either the helix is supported by a dielectric or the waveguide is filled with plasma. The dispersive properties of the dielectric-supported helix waveguide have been examined for different geometric parameters of the helix waveguide. The dispersion relation of the helix mode is found to be upshifted by a>p cos , when plasma is introduced in the device, where uP, are the electron plasma frequency and the pitch angle of the helix respectively.

Second 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...

A simple field analysis was developed for helical slowwave structure symmetrically supported by rectangular shaped discrete dielectric support rods partially embedded in the metal segments projecting radially inward from a metal envelope for wideband traveling-wave tubes. The tape helix model was used for the prediction of the dispersion relation and the interaction impedance characteristics. T...

In this study, we investigate the transparency of an overdense inhomogeneous plasma slab. This anomalous transmission is achieved when the conditions provided for the incident electromagnetic wave to excite coupled surface waves on the both sides of the slab. These conditions require that the homogeneous overdense plasma, or the metallic film, is placed between two dielectric layers. Here, the ...
