Study of discrete electron-wave interaction in the passband and stopband of slow-wave systems
This article contains analysis of properties discrete electron-wave interaction in resonance slow-wave system (SWS). Equations of interaction are written in matrix form. Eigenvalues of transfer matrix with electron beam define spread constant of four electron waves. Features of electron waves in SWS with «smooth» energy stream and in SWS with «winding» flow are examined. Simulation is performed and amplification of multi-section TWT with passband and stopband sections of SWS is found. Field distribution along stopband section is found.
