    Abstract: A traveling wave tube and method of operation is disclosed. The traveling wave tube includes a slow wave structure such as a helix member provided with input and output ends and located within a tube member. An electron gun assembly is adjacent the input end for injecting electrons as an electron beam along an axial path through the helix member. A magnetic focusing device generates a magnetic field having a given strength to confine the beam to the axial path. The given strength of the magnetic field is sufficient to confine the beam only when the power level of the microwave input signal is selected such that the given power level of the microwave output signal is at least 6 dB lower than the power level of the microwave output signal at saturation. Boron Nitride (BN) supporting rods are engaged between the tube and helix members for supporting and transferring heat away from the helix member.

    Abstract: A helix-type traveling wave tube delay line extends from an input side to an output side. An electron gun adjacent the input side of the helix means transmits an electronic beam to a collector adjacent the output side. An attenuator divides the helix at a location between the input side and the output side. Between the attenuator and input, the helix has a pitch (P.sub.0). Between the attenuator and the output, the pitch (P.sub.1) of the helix is greater than the pitch (P.sub.0) to form a fast velocity circuit. The pitch (P.sub.2) of a second part of the helix between the attenuator and output is less than the pitch (P.sub.0) to form a slow velocity circuit. A third part of the helix is interposed between the first and second parts to form a velocity taper section having a helical pitch which varies from the larger pitch (P.sub.1) to the smaller pitch (P.sub.2). One fairly central position in the third part of the helix has an average pitch of (P.sub.1 +P.sub.2)/2. A first length (L.sub.1) of the helix includes all of the first part and continues to the position of average pitch. A second length (L.sub.2) of the helix includes all of the second part and continues to the position of average pitch. The ratio L.sub.1 /L.sub.2 ranges from 0.6 to 2, and the ratio (2(P.sub.1 -P.sub.2)/(P.sub.1 +P.sub.2)) of the difference between pitches P.sub.1 and P.sub.2 to the average pitch ranges from 0.04 to 0.14.

    Abstract: A traveling-wave amplifier tube adapted for use as a booster of transmitted signals has very small internal circuit attenuation so that it may be used without an electron beam as a transparent, passive path for low transmitter power. When the booster tube's beam is excited, the signal is amplified about 10dB. Upper bandedge instabilities in the lossless tube are inhibited by a lower cutoff frequency of the circuit near the output end than near the input end, so that bandedge power can flow both ways out of the large-signal output end.

    Abstract: A traveling wave electron interaction device is provided having means for reducing intermodulation product amplitudes and crossmodulation in multisignal operation. An axial variation of a delay line phase velocity is introduced at substantially low levels of electron beam modulation to provide a positive velocity profile. The fundamental circuit wave of one signal is allowed to proceed with relative little gain while the space harmonic component of another signal is allowed to drop in magnitude thereby improving traveling wave tube linearity by desynchronizing of space harmonic interaction with the electron beam. The invention is suited for low power level communication type devices where signal distortion is a critical parameter.

    Abstract: A traveling wave tube amplifier having an axial annular electron stream and a pair of counterwound axially aligned and radially spaced helices positioned intermediate the electron beam source and the collector electrode. The innermost helix is wound on the outer surface of a cylindrical ferrite which in turn is biased by means of a current-carrying wire loop passing through the axial bore of the ferrite cylinder. The RF input to the amplifier is at the electron source end and is applied to both counterwound coils, either in-phase or 180* out-of-phase. The annular electron stream passes through the annular spacing between both helices and interacts with a prescribed mode, preferably the fundamental mode of RF wave energy propagated axially along the ferrite cylinder.

    Abstract: Application of normal operate supply voltages to a helix-type traveling wave tube may cause, under worst defocused conditions, a helix current due to beam impingement thereon, sufficiently high to destroy the tube. By switching the application of supply voltage to a beam defining electrode between normal value and a beam suppressing value at a predetermined duty cycle, the tube may be focused by monitoring helix current which is prevented under worst defocused conditions from being great enough to cause tube damage.
