Abstract

In this paper, a scheme of obtaining the maximum theoretical overall efficiency is explored by optimizing the helix pitch profile of a TWT based on the collectability of spent beam. The detailed design of a Ku-band helix TWT is described according to three optimization goals (theoretical overall efficiency, theoretical collector efficiency and electronic efficiency). The simulation results indicate that the optimization for high interaction circuit efficiency or collector efficiency by itself is not adequate to obtain maximum overall efficiency. The maximum theoretical overall efficiency of 77% was achieved via the optimization of slow wave structure for theoretical overall efficiency.
