Abstract

Much of attention has been paid to VEDs towards terahertz band. In this paper, the TM31 mode SDV-SWS operating at the center frequency of 340 GHz are designed and studied with a good beam-wave matching bandwidth. A TE10 to TE30 mode converter with input/out- put coupling structures are designed and analyzed. The SDV-SWS system has a transmission characteristic of S11 at -10dB and a S21 of about 0dB at a bandwidth of 330-380 GHz. The effects of physical simulation parameters on beam-wave interaction characteristics with its stability of TM31 mode SDV-TWT are studied thoroughly, the output power, gain and bandwidth are optimized respectively. With the beam voltage of 23.1 kV and beam current of 3 ∗ 0.08 A, the optimized two-stage SDV-TWT amplifier has a maximum output power of 40 W near the center frequency, and the gain is 36dB with a 3dB bandwidth of38GHz.
