Abstract

The design of a wideband G-Band travelling wave tube using the staggered double-vane slow-wave structure combined with sheet electron beam is described in this paper. The dispersion characteristic and interaction impedance are investigated and optimized thoroughly to obtain the wide bandwidth. Then a more simple new type input and output coupler is brought forward with high transmission characteristics. Particle in cell (PIC) simulations predict that when the beam voltage is of 20kV and beam current of 250mA respectively, the sheet beam travelling wave tube can produce over 230 W of peak power within the total length of 43mm, and a corresponding gain of 37 dB.
