Analysis of a U-shaped vane-loaded helical slow-wave structure for wideband travelling-wave tubes

The dispersion equation and interaction impedance of a U-shaped vane-loaded helical slow-wave structure (SWS) is obtained by considering the azimuthal space harmonic in the non-vane region and the helical tape thickness, using the field theory matching method in the azimuthal field discontinuity. The theoretical calculation by electromagnetic analysis is consistent with the simulation result by MAFIA, which can explain some physical essence of the SWS. In the helical SWS, negative dispersion is reported to reduce the second harmonic content of a wideband travelling-wave tube at the low-frequency end of the band. When the SWS is assembled, the support rods are easily located in the groove of the vane. The solution provides a new instruction method for other types of vane-loaded helical SWS.     

Design of Tip Loss Profile on Support Rod for a Helix TWT

This paper describes the design of tip loss profile on support rod for a high gain, high efficiency helix TWT. The tip loss profile at sever ends for the input and the output section of the helix slow wave structure has been designed for return loss at severs ends better than -20 dB. The experimental results have been carried out in the input and the output section of the helix assemblies for the high gain helix TWT to find the return loss in the region of carbon coated tip loss on the support rods. The experimental result has been compared with the simulated performance for the return loss at the sever ends. The design of tip loss profile on the support rod for helix TWT has been carried out in real situation using Ansoft HFSS. A good agreement has been found in the simulated and experimental results.     

Analysis of Helix Slow Wave Structure for High Efficiency Space TWT

This paper describes the analysis of helix slow-wave structure (SWS) for a high efficiency space traveling wave tube that is carried out using Ansoft HFSS and CST microwave studio, which is a 3D electromagnetic field simulators. Two approaches of simulating the dispersion and impedance characteristics of the helix slow wave structure have been discussed and compared with measured results. The dispersion characteristic gives the information about axial propagation constant (Beta). Which in turn yields the phase velocity at a particular frequency. The dispersion and impedance characteristics can be used in finding the pertinent design parameters of the helix slow-wave structure. Therefore a new trend has been initiated at CEERI to use Ansoft HFSS code to analysis of the helix slow wave structure in its real environment. The analysis of the helix SWS for Ku-band 140W space TWT has been carried out and compared with experimental results, and found is close agreement.

Diamond-studded helical traveling wave tube

A novel method of millimeter-wave traveling wave tube (TWT) slow-wave circuit fabrication, employing laser micromachining and the in situ growth of diamond studs as an insulating dielectric, has been developed, which would enable a new class of very wideband, low distortion, high-efficiency amplifiers. Because the slow-wave circuit is supported by an array of diamond studs, rather than the conventional dielectric rods, we have named this novel device the diamond-studded TWT. Diamond strips have been successfully grown on a molybdenum tube and a diamond-studded helix has been produced using laser micromachining. Computer analysis of the slow-wave structure indicate that this fabrication technique leads naturally to a circuit with nearly flat dispersion over a frequency range, in some configurations, of more than four octaves. Typically, wide bandwidth can only be achieved by reducing efficiency; however, this fabrication technique increases the interaction impedance of the circuit, enabling high efficiency operation without sacrificing bandwidth. The very low dispersion also results in a coupling impedance that is relatively insensitive to frequency that may enable low reflection coupling over a wide frequency band. The resulting slow-wave circuit is essentially a brazed structure and, therefore, inherently robust thermally and mechanically. The manufacturing technology being pursued is applicable to any millimeter-wave helical or helix-derived TWT.

A simple equivalent circuit analysis of rectangular folded-waveguide slow-wave structure

A simple yet accurate equivalent circuit model was developed for the analysis of slow-wave properties (dispersion and interaction impedance characteristics) of a rectangular folded-waveguide slow-wave structure. Present formulation includes the effects of the presence of beam-hole in the circuit, which were ignored in existing approaches. The analysis was benchmarked against measurement as well as with 3D electromagnetic modeling using MAFIA for two typical slow-wave structures operating in Ka- and Q-bands, and close agreements were observed. The analysis was extended for demonstrating the effect of the variation of beam-hole radius on the RF interaction efficiency of the device.
