Abstract :
A TWT, formed by two dielectric plates covered by metal screens and a sheet electron beam (EB), is analyzed. The dispersion characteristics and the coupling coefficient, characterizing the EB interaction effectiveness are calculated for different thickness of the plates and the e-beam tunnel´s height. A high value of the coupling coefficient is obtained.
