Investigation of the possibility of improving the characteristics of an O-type TWT in the mode of AM-signal amplification
Abstract
It is shown experimentally that the collector efficiency of an O-type traveling wave tube in the case of AM-signal amplification is lower than in the case when there is no signal modulation. It is demonstrated that it is possible to achieve a considerable improvement in the collector efficiency of the TWT in the mode of AM-signal amplification by using LF demodulation of the electron beam before the collector.
