Abstract
A novel slow wave structure (SWS), called double tunnel staggered grating (DTSG), which originates from the double staggered grating (DSG) and folded waveguide (FW), is proposed to develop a dual-beam traveling wave tube (TWT) with high power and electron efficiency in Terahertz (THz) band. Using two key techniques: (1) the rectangular holes are opened in the grating-ridges, and the operating mode is cut-off at holes; (2) specific grating-height, the DTSG-SWS possesses the wide operating band as DSG-SWS, high interaction impedance as the rectangular grating (RG) SWS, and good transmission characteristics as FW-SWS. In addition, it is not only suitable for the dual-beam TWT, but also is simple and easy of fabrication as DSG-SWS. The particle-in-cell simulation analysis confirms that the saturated power and electron efficiency of TWT using DTSG-SWS have been significantly improved compared with the TWT using DSG-SWS.
