Analysis of the dispersion characteristics of slow-wave structures with two microwave propagation channels

Abstract

Models of rectangular and axially symmetric resonator slow-wave structures, which are built using transmission matrix for determining the characteristics of the slow-wave structures in different operation modes, are investigated. Elements of the transmission matrix are determined from the results of 3D simulation with the use of the HFSS software. In the analysis of the dispersion characteristics, slow-wave structures with two microwave propagation channels are studied and simulated using a 4×4 transmission matrix.
