Abstract
- A Ka-band sheet electron beam (SEB) traveling-wave tube (TWT) based on three-slot staggered-ladder (TSTL) coupled-cavity slow-wave structure (CC-SWS) is proposed. The high-frequency characteristics of TSTL SWS were analyzed in detail. A well-matched input/output coupling system that solves the problem of energy coupling between the SWS and the external circuit was designed. A new method of loading the distributed attenuator for TSTL SWS was investigated for suppressing backward wave oscillation effectively. In addition, a SEB gun which can produce the SEB conveniently was optimized. A small tunable periodic cusped magnet (STPCM) system was designed to focus the low voltage, high-current SEB, which decreases the whole dimension of the TWT sufficiently. Moreover, the special STPCM system is predicted to exhibit 100% beam transmission efficiency. Finally, the beam-wave interaction was studied. The results obtained by CST simulation show that the SEB TWT can produce output power over 5 kW within the bandwidth ranging from 31.5 to 35.5 GHz, and the maximum output power is 10.15 kW at 33 GHz, corresponding electron efficiency of 10.36%. The fabrication of the device is under way. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
