Analysis of the operating conditions of an autophase traveling wave tube
Abstract
An analysis is made of the conditions under which the total wave capture of a deep modulated electron beam occurs. It is shown that the specific amplification of an autophase TWT is much lower than that of a conventional TWT. The expected amplification of an autophase TWT does not exceed 10 dB.
