Abstract

This work was performed to analyze the effects of variable processing methods for samarium cobalt magnets in order to optimize the performance in a traveling wave tube. Current observable variables in processing techniques raised question to overall performance within the traveling wave tube. Insufficient data relating the cause and effects of different processing techniques increased the need for such analysis. Four magnet processing variations were performed and tested on several TWTs to analyze the performance of different magnetic pole variations.
