A traveling wave amplifier circuit to receive an RF wave and an electron sheet beam and to effect synchronized interaction therebetween. The circuit includes a wave guide having at least a first wall and a second wall opposite the first wall. The first wall and the second wall are connected to define an axis of propagation and a rectangular wave guide cross-section that is normal to the axis of propagation. The circuit further includes a plurality of first projections located on an interior surface of the first wall of the wave guide, the first projections being pitched in a direction of the axis of propagation. The circuit further includes a plurality of second projections located on an interior surface of the second wall of the wave guide, the second projections being pitched in a direction of the axis of propagation. A number of the second projections are located on the interior surface of the second wall in a staggered configuration in a direction of the axis of propagation relative to a number of corresponding first projections located on the interior surface of the first wall.
A traveling wave amplifier circuit to receive an RF wave and an electron sheet beam and to effect synchronized interaction therebetween, the circuit comprising:
A radio-frequency (RF) slow wave structure (SWS) to couple an RF wave to an electron sheet beam, the RF SWS comprising:
A device, comprising:
The device of claim 19, wherein each second projection of the staggered configuration symmetrically opposes a pair of adjacent first projections located on the interior surface of the first wall.
A two-dimensional circuit for a traveling-wave tube for millimeter and sub-millimeter electromagnetic waves to synchronously interact with an electron beam in a vacuum electronic microwave amplifier or oscillator comprising a solid body having a length, the solid body comprising a top section of electrically conducting material and a bottom section of electrically conducting material, wherein the top section is configured with a plurality of vertical vanes having a width and height and configured parallel to each other, and the bottom section is configured with a plurality of vertical vanes having a width and height and configured parallel to each and such that when the solid body is viewed in cross section along the length, the vanes on the bottom section are staggered with respect to the vanes on the top section and wherein the top section and the bottom section are separated from each other to define a tunnel through the solid body along the length.
