摘要
We describe the design, development, and initial testing of a very compact, multiple-beam folded-waveguide traveling wave tube (TWT) operating in Ka -band at $\sim $ 6 kV. A proof-of-principle four-beam, $\sim $ 100 mA/beam device has been fabricated and tested, and a 16-beam version of the device has been designed and is predicted to produce an output power up to 1 kW. Here, we describe the design approach we devised and implemented to overcome two fundamental challenges: 1) generating and transporting the tightly spaced beams required to operate in the millimeter-wave regime and 2) developing folded waveguide circuits that can provide high interaction impedance for each of the beams as well as stable operation in a dense high-order-mode environment.
