Analysis of dispersion characteristics of chain of coupled resonators with plasma channel filling and further design of plasma-beam travelling-wave tubes based on this method

Abstract

Equivalent systems method was implemented for designing the resonator slow-wave structures in plasma-beam devices, and non-impact plasma was used for the filling of the transit channel. The collation of the calculation results demonstrates the adequacy of the developed model in comparison with the real devices and structures. The analysis of the slow-wave structure dispersion characteristics was carried out. The structure of the plasma-beam travelling-wave tube high frequency unit was designed, and using the VEGA software, the tube parameters were estimated.
