Investigation of the Dielectric-Loaded, Ridged Helical Groove Slow-Wave System for the Millimeter Wave TWT

A dielectric-loaded, ridged helical groove slow-wave structure for the millimeter wave traveling wave tube is presented in this paper. The effects of the groove depth, ridge dimensions and the dielectric permitivety on the wave propagating properties and the interaction impedance are investigated in detail. From the analysis, it is indicated that for broader band amplification in a helical groove travelling wave tube, a ridged helical structure with shallow groove and loaded by dielectric with proper relative permitivety may be applied.     

Linear Theory of the Coaxial Ridge-Loaded Helical Groove Waveguide

The coaxial ridge-loaded helical groove waveguide, an all-metal slow-wave circuit, has advantages of good heat dissipation and great size, and thus is suitable for use of millimeter TWTs. In this paper, the dispersion equation of the circuit with an annular electron beam is obtained according to self-consistent field theory. The influence of various electron beam parameters on the small signal gain is investigated and discussed by the numerical computation.     

Dielectric effect on the rf characteristics of a helical groove travelling wave tube

A new type of partial-dielectric-loaded helical groove slow-wave structure (SWS) for millimetre wave travelling wave tube (TWT） is presented in this paper.The radio-frequency characteristics including the dispersion properties,the longitudinal electric field distribution and the beam-wave coupling impedance of this structure are analysed.The results show that the dispersion of the helical groove circuit is weakened,the phase velocity is reduced and the position of the maximum Ez is moved from the mouth to the inside of the groove after partially filling the dielectric materials in the helical groove SWS.Therefore,the dielectric-loaded helical groove SWS is suitable for a multi-beam TWT with broad band and high gain.     

The Small Signal Analysis of a Centered Dielectric-Rod Loaded, Arbitrarily-Shaped Helical Groove Traveling-Wave-Tube

Properties of traveling wave-beam interaction in a centered dielectric-rod loaded, arbitrarily-shaped helical groove slow-wave structure (SWS) are investigated for a thin annular electron beam. The “hot” dispersion equation is obtained by means of the self-consistent field theory, and the small signal analysis is carried out including the effects of the dielectric-rod parameters and the groove shapes. The numerical results show that the bandwidth of the helical groove TWT is expanded by loading dielectric-rod, however, the small-signal gain is reduced; and when the groove shape changes from the swallow-tail shape to the triangle shape, the working frequency increases , while the peak gain decreases.

Accurate analysis of arbitrarily-shaped helical groove waveguide

This paper presents a theory on accurately analysing the dispersion relation and the interaction impedance of electromagnetic waves propagating through a helical groove waveguide with arbitrary groove shape, in which the complex groove profile is synthesized by a series of rectangular steps. By introducing the influence of high-order evanescent modes on the connection of any two neighbouring steps by an equivalent susceptance under a modified admittance matching condition, the assumption of the neglecting discontinuity capacitance in previously published analysis is avoided, and the accurate dispersion equation is obtained by means of a combination of field-matching method and admittance-matching technique. The validity of this theory is proved by comparison between the measurements and the numerical calculations for two kinds of helical groove waveguides with different groove shapes.
