Abstract :
CHRISTINE is a multi-frequency large-signal helix TWT code. Code predictions are compared with data from an L-band TWT; in general, the model and data agree to better than 1 dB, demonstrating the code to be a useful tool for TWT design and the development of external linearization techniques.
