AbstractField theory is applied to analyze the behavior of the electromagnetic wave in the presence of a solid electron beam and magnetized plasma-loaded tape helix traveling-wave tube. The obtained dispersion relation implicitly includes azimuthal variations and all spatial harmonics of the tape helix. Results indicate that the frequency and the phase velocity of (Xbp − Xp) and […]
AbstractA linearized relativistic field theory of a plasma-loaded helix traveling-wave tube is presented for a configuration where a solid electron beam propagate through a sheath helix enclosed within a loss-free wall in which the gap between the helix and the outer wall is filled with a dielectric. Numerical study of the effect of plasma density […]
