Application of Multi-Beam Technique in Microwave Tubes

Abstract:

The applications of multi-beam technique in microwave tubes including klystrons and traveling wave tubes have been analyzed. A type of 5-beam traveling wave tube slow-wave structure was designed, and dispersion characteristics and coupling impedance characteristics were simulated. According to the simulated results, it can be concluded that dispersion of multi-beam traveling wave tube is satisfactory and the coupling impedance is high, and multi-beam technique can be widely used in microwave tubes because it can improve the plus and output power of microwave tubes.
