Telecommunication transmissions require high power linear amplifiers operating in C, X and Ku bands due to the necessity to manage a large amount of information. Helix TWT is the device adequate for this application since it can provide wide bandwidth and high power level at high frequencies. One of the major difficulties in the design of a wide band TWT relies in the phase velocity dispersion of the helix circuit because the gain across the band is strictly depending on it. For this reason the control of the helix dispersion characteristics has represented and still represents one of the more important techniques in broad band helix TWT design. To this purpose an anisotropic loading structure, consisting of "semi-metallic rods", has been designed and cold tested. The results are presented in this paper.

Electrodynamic parameters of complicated output RF systems of multiple-beam klystron are under research in this article. The gain-frequency characteristic was obtained, values of operating frequencies, loaded and unloaded Q-factors, R/Q values and interaction coefficients of the double-gap output cavity with matching system and output waveguide were calculated. Dependence of external Q-factor from coupling diaphragm proportions was investigated. The recommendations to improve the parameters of the output multiple-beam system were issued.

We report on the results of a comparison study of the CHRISTINE 1D helix TWT simulation code with the small signal theory of a beam interacting with a slow wave supported by a sheath helix in the presence of loss, in order to ascertain whether attenuation is treated with sufficient accuracy by the ad hoc model used in the CHRISTINE code. This study was motivated in part by the fact that losses in both dielectrics and in metals generally increase with increasing operating frequency, making the accuracy of the CHRISTINE code a potential concern for mm-wave helix TWT design. The basic conclusion of this study is that the existing model of attenuation in CHRISTINE is sufficiently accurate for attenuation rates up to a few dB/pitch. For larger attenuation rates, accuracy can be further improved by taking into account the (quadratic) dependence of phase velocity on the attenuation rate.
