Abstract :
A broadband slow-wave structure (SWS) formed by a periodic row of rings connected by helices is considered below. The approximate analysis and measurements confirmed that the offered SWS has at least twice less "periodicity" in comparison to the helix and can operate without the backward wave oscillation at voltages exceeding 20 kV.
