Exceptional points of degeneracy in traveling wave tubes
Exceptional points of degeneracy in traveling wave tubes
The traveling wave tube (TWT) is a powerful vacuum electronic device used to amplify radio-frequency signals with numerous applications, including radar, television, and telephone satellite communications. TWT design in a nutshell comprises a pencil-like electron beam (e-beam) in vacuum interacting with a guiding slow-wave structure (SWS). In our studies here, …
