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.

Investigation of the Half-Circular Helical Groove Slow-Wave Structure

As a new type all-metal slow-wave structure of the millimeter wave TWT, The helical groove has a lot of advantages: large power handling capability, large sizes, high precision and moderate bandwidth. Of the helical groove structure, the half-circular helical groove can achieve wider passband than the rectangular helical groove can do. The approximate and much simple matching method of the fields of the half-circular structure is presented in this paper. The more general expressions of the dispersion characteristic and coupling impedence, in which the fast-wave modes and slow-wave modes are considered simultaneously, are obtained. It is indicated from the results of the numerical calculation that choosing suitable dimensions of the structure and suppessing the backward wave osillation, this kind of slow-wave structure can operate over 50% hot relative bandwidth.     

Wave Propagation Along a Helical Step-Loaded Groove Waveguide

A new kind of helical groove structure, step-loaded groove waveguide is presented and analyzed in this paper. The dispersion equation of this structure is derived by means of a field-matching method. This equation may be reduced to the dispersion equation of helical ridge-loaded structure and rectangular one. In order to demonstrate the influence of the step on the dispersion properties, the comparison of the dispersion characteristics is made in these helical rectangular and modified rectangular groove structures. Form the analysis, it is shown that the step loading tends to reduce the dispersion of the helical groove circuit and the step-loaded structure has the weaker dispersion compared with the rectangular one or the ridge-loaded one. The effect of the step shape on the wave properties is also discussed under the deep groove case. The theoretical results explicitly indicate that the V-like step-loaded structure has the weakest dispersion in all step-loaded structures.

LEAKY CHARACTERISTICS OF A NEW MILLIMETER WAVE ANTENNA BASED ON GROOVE GUIDE WITH AN ASYMMETRIC CONDUCTOR STRIP

A new millimeter wave leaky wave antenna is presented in this paper, which is a modification of the groove guide with an asymmetric conductor strip by introducing a dielectric slab into the conductor plane region of the groove guide antenna. The leakage property of the new antenna is carefully examined through calculations of an equivalent network, which is developed here with taking into account the coupling between different modes to guarantee the calculating accuracy. It has been found that the new leaky wave antenna is of larger leakage constant than that for the original groove guide antenna because of the introduction of the dielectric slab. Extensive numerical results of the leakage characteristics are given to establish useful guidelines for the design of the new type groove guide leaky wave antenna.

Generation of wakefields in a dielectric structure filled with plasma

The effect of plasma on the amplitude of the wakefield excited in a dielectric structure by a relativistic electron bunch train is studied. The structure under study is a dielectric cylindrical waveguide with an axial drift channel filled with plasma. The dependences of the amplitude of a longitudinal electric field on the plasma density are obtained for the following three cases: the parameters of the dielectric structure and bunches are fixed; the inside or outside radius of the dielectric tube changes according a change in the plasma frequency, and the bunch repetition frequency is adjusted to the plasma frequency and the frequency of the first radial mode of a dielectric wave. It is shown that, when the eigenwave frequencies are adjusted to the bunch repetition frequency via a change in the structure radii, the maximum of the accelerating field is determined by a plasma wave, and there is a plasma density range where a dielectric wave significantly contributes to the total field amplitude. In the case of changing the outside radius, this range is substantially wider.     

Effect of Dielectric Groove Profiles on Reflection Characteristics of Millimeter Wave Frequency Selective Surface

In this paper, the frequency selective reflection characteristics of dielectric periodic structures with arbitrary groove profiles are analyzed by a method which combines the multimode network theory with the rigorous mode matching procedure. Emphasis is placed on the discussion about the effect of the different groove profiles, such as rectangle, trapezoid, increasing cosine and triangle, on the reflection characteristics of the millimeter wave (MMW) frequency selective surface (FSS). Some useful guidelines for the design of the MMW dielectric FSS are thus suggested. Moreover, the physical explanation of the related wave phenomenon is given.     

Multilayer resonances sharpened by grating waveguide resonance

A multilayer planar structure comprising a highly reflective multilayer dielectric mirror and a corrugated waveguide is proposed for use as a narrow passband optical filter. The proposed filter has a much narrower linewidth than a usual Fabry–Perot cavity with two multilayer dielectric mirrors. It is shown that the narrowing of the linewidth is due to the strong spectral dependence of the phase of the wave reflected from the waveguide grating mirror. The shape of the pass band can be made symmetrical by a proper choice of the grating groove profile.     

Investigation into the Effect of Dielectric Loss on RF Characteristics of Helical SWS

A general theory has been developed to account for the effect of the dielectric loss of discrete rods on the performance characteristics of an actual helical slow wave structure (SWS). The effect of the lossy dielectric rods has been studied on various propagation parameters, namely, phase propagation constant, interaction impedance and attenuation constant at different operating frequency. It is clearly shown that the influence of dielectric loss on RF characteristics is much larger at the millimeter frequency band than that at the microwave frequency band, especially on interaction impedance and attenuation constant. The general theory developed here has been further confirmed by comparing the results with those obtained elsewhere for some special cases.

Simulation investigation on channel surface plasmon guiding by terahertz wave through subwavelength metal V-groove

The waveguide propagation properties of terahertz wave through subwavelength metallic triangular groove channels have been simulationally investigated. The effects of groove depth, groove angle and dielectric filling materials on propagation property have been shown and discussed. The results show that with increasing of groove depth and angle degree the propagation constant of channel surface plasmon polariton mode decreases. The propagation constant of poor conductive metal is larger than that of good conductive metal, which may result from the fact that the former has larger skin depth. In addition, the confinement of CSPP mode could be improved by increasing the refractive index of dielectric filling materials.
