Initially the method is used for a coaxial transmission line having four sections. Due to the transitions between the sections there exist some reflections. By knowing exact position of reflections one can optimize for better VSWR by introducing compensating steps. This method has been extended for the optimization of output coupler of a TWT by estimating the positions of discontinuities and optimizing the design for better VSWR. This method can be extended for any type of couplers like waveguide-to-coaxial transitions, or any other microwave transmission lines.","PeriodicalId":324211,"journal":{"name":"IVEC 2012","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124633578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gyro-TWT consists of a double-anode magnetron injection gun(MIG), TE01 mode interaction circuit, a 36mm diameter collector, and a three disk sappire output window. A double-anode magnetron injection gun is designed to operate at 70 kV and 10A using the EGUN trajectory code and particle in cell program MAGIC. The electron beam with v⊥/vz =1.0 has a predicated axial velocity spread of 3-5%. The TE01 mode interaction circuit is made up of a section of alternating metal and lossy ceramic (BeO+TiO2) followed by a unloaded, metal-walled output region. The lossy property of the periodically loaded ceramic relieves the worries of the potential Bragg resonance arising from the periodicity of the interaction circuit, bring high attenuation to the potential competing mode, and enhances the stability of a gyro-TWT. The nonlinear self-consistent simulation code evaluated the operating characteristics of the gyro-TWT amplifier.
