  • Abstract
    The wideband helix traveling-wave tube (TWT) using an electron beam of voltage 4 kV and current 140 mA is designed over the frequency range of 6-18 GHz by a nonlinear theory employing one-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) method. The nonlinear theory involves a large particle beam model in which the electron beam is treated as the electron disk instead of the hydrodynamic fluid in the linear theory for the numerical calculations. A linear theory is used to verify the numerical algorithm of the nonlinear theory in a small-signal mode.
