Parametric Oscillations in Traveling Waves Tubes for Telecommunication Systems

A tentative explanation of oscillations in helix traveling waves tubes (TWT) in the nonlinear regime is proposed here based on a parametric oscillation mechanism. This model explains why the TWT oscillates slightly before saturation and why this type of oscillation occurs at a lower beam current tha...

Summary:A tentative explanation of oscillations in helix traveling waves tubes (TWT) in the nonlinear regime is proposed here based on a parametric oscillation mechanism. This model explains why the TWT oscillates slightly before saturation and why this type of oscillation occurs at a lower beam current than other types of oscillations in the linear regime.
