Abstract :
Traveling-wave tubes (TWTs), used in civil and defence applications, require high power and multi-octave bandwidth rather than high efficiency and hence just a single stage depressed collector is sufficient. However, TWT used in space applications necessarily has to have very high efficiency rather than wide bandwidth. A user friendly multi-stage depressed (MDC) collector design code in MATLAB for high collector efficiency is in progress of development.
