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.

In this paper, an optimization algorithm has been developed to provide robust designs for nonlinear beam-wave interaction of high-frequency traveling-wave tubes (TWTs). The algorithm utilizes the optimization method of hybrid genetic algorithm (Goldberg, 1990) in the TWT simulation code which is much like CHRISTINE-1D (Antonsen, 1998). By considering the effects of dimensional helix pitch variations during the optimization, the desired performance characteristics has been achieved.

The crossed-field electron vacuum devices have a high noise level. Nonlinear interaction of electron beam and electromagnetic waves result in excitation of chaotic or combination oscillations. Here we observed Fourier spectrum of low and high frequency modes to prove excitation of chaotic behavior of oscillations in crossed-field electron vacuum devices.

Approximately twenty intricate diamond structures have been fabricated, selectively metallized and assembled into prototype 650 GHz backward wave oscillators (BWOs). The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond structure is grown into a silicon mold fabricated using deep reactive ion etching. The lithographic fabrication processes employed produce dozens of devices from each lot. The RF power generated is radiated directly from the BWO for compatibility with a quasi-optical sub-mm system. The interdigital slow wave circuit, the electron gun, the output coupler and the antenna are fabricated as a single piece of diamond to eliminate difficulties with alignment. We will describe the processes of fabrication and assembly, and present available preliminary results of prototype testing.
