Abstract
A novel slow-wave structure called V-shape folded rectangular groove waveguide is proposed to develop high-power, wide-bandwidth, and high-efficiency millimeter-wave traveling-wave tube. This structure evolves from a conventional rectangular groove waveguide bending the groove with V-shape along its longitudinal direction, which can operate with the sheet electron beam. In this paper, the electromagnetic characteristics and the beam-wave interaction of this structure operating in the V-band are obtained. From our calculations, this circuit structure possesses low transmission loss and can produce an output power of over 900 W ranging from 56 to 65 GHz when the cathode voltage and beam current are set to 12.8 kV and 500 mA, respectively. The corresponding gain and electron efficiency can reach over 36.5 dB and 14%, respectively.
