In a traveling-wave tube (TWT) the helical periodic slow-wave structure (SWS) is supported by dielectric supports in a metal envelope in high vacuum. The heat generated in the helix during beam-wave interaction, restricts the average power handling capability of a TWT, dissipated by conduction through support rods. Thermal contact resistances, arises at different joints of different materials, affect...
Improper fitting of helix bundle to rod and rod to barren envelope leads to high thermal resistances and hence restricts average power handling capability of a TWT. In this paper, authors have calculated thermal resistances at different joints of a helix traveling-wave tube (TWT), analytically and validated with COSMOS software.
Non-conventional 3-stage collector geometry has been designed using EGUN code for high efficiency applications deviating from typical 4-stage depressed collector. Efficiency of this collector is very much similar to 4-stage collector with reduced dimensions, weight, etc, which are very important if such collector is to be used for space applications. Such collector also reduces the complexity of electronic...
Travelling wave tubes (TWTs) are power amplifier for communication satellite. As the electron gun plays a significant role in determining the life and reliability of the space TWT, the same has been subjected for 3-dimensional thermal and structural analysis using FEA code COSMOS and ANSYS. Expansion in different electrodes like cathode, beam focus electrode (BFE) and anode in axial and radial direction...
