Abstract

Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) regenerative oscillators have been proposed and validated as very attractive Terahertz (GHz) sources. Microfabricated integration requires intensive attention before the feedback loop is fully built into a TWT, which makes it very important to investigate the effect of feedback attenuation in a high frequency TWT regenerative oscillator. In this paper, a 5 GHz helix TWT regenerative oscillator is used to predict this effect experimentally.
