Design and cold test of period-tapered double-ridge-loaded folded waveguide slow wave structure for Ka band TWTs

A double-ridge-loaded folded waveguide (DRL-FW) travelling wave tube (TWT) based on period-tapered structure is proposed. Through analysing the dispersion characteristics of the DRL-FW slow wave structure (SWS), the physical mechanism of the band-edge oscillation is obtained. Period-tapered SWS is p...
