Abstract
This paper theoretically investigates a novel application of high-temperature superconductors where the superconductor serves as the active component in a microwave or millimeter traveling-wave amplifier. A guided electromagnetic wave interacts with a dc superconducting electron current to set up charge-density gradients within the superconducting electron "plasma." The electromagnetic wave gradually extracts energy from the superconducting electrons by traveling in phase synchronism with these charge gradients. The interaction mechanism is similar to that of a conventional traveling-wave tube amplifier or oscillator.
