Abstract :
An optimization algorithm has been developed to provide robust designs for slow-wave circuits of high frequency traveling-wave tubes. A simulated statistical performance test of a robust design for a 94-GHz folded waveguide circuit shows significantly less sensitivity to dimensional tolerance variations
