Abstract:
A novel planar microstrip meander-line slow-wave structure (SWS) on dielectric substrate for a miniature low-voltage millimeter-band traveling-wave tube (TWT) with a high-aspect-ratio sheet electron beam is proposed. Main electromagnetic parameters of the SWS were studied. Using of such a slow-wave structure may lead to increase of the gain and output power of the TWT amplifier.
This study was performed within the framework of a state order to the Kotelnikov Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
