Abstract :
The cold-test dispersion and interaction impedance characteristics for three types of coupled-cavity slow-wave circuits were simulated with the frequency-domain algorithm of Micro-SOS, a three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation code. The results agree very closely with experimental data and show the utility of the simulation code for eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming experimental cold-testing procedures.<>
