New Nonlinear Multifrequency TWT Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

The Multifrequency Spectral Eulerian (MUSE) Model of a Traveling Wave Tube
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...
متن کاملA Comparison of L-Band Helix TWT Experiments with CHRISTINE, a 1-D Multifrequency Helix TWT Code
Extensive experimental measurements were carried out to test the accuracy of the parametric helix traveling-wave tube (TWT) code, CHRISTINE [1]. The model is one-dimensional, with beam electrons represented as rigid disks. Multifrequency interactions are supported and the RF circuit can be optionally represented with cold-test data, a sheath helix model, or a recently implemented tape helix mod...
متن کاملNonlinear Distortion and Suppression in Traveling Wave Tubes: Insights and Methods
Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) are microwave and millimeter wave amplifiers used in radar, satellite communications, and electronic countermeasure applications. On a satellite, the TWT provides the final communications signal boost before transmitting the signal back to earth. In electronic countermeasures, TWTs boost signals that are sent out to deny detection by an enemy radar. The TWT, as with ...
متن کاملGeneration of chaotic radiation in a driven traveling wave tube amplifier with time-delayed feedback
The application of chaos in communications and radar offers new and interesting possibilities. This article describes investigations on the generation of chaos in a traveling wave tube !TWT" amplifier and the experimental parameters responsible for sustaining stable chaos. Chaos is generated in a TWT amplifier when it is made to operate in a highly nonlinear regime by recirculating a fraction o...
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...
