Multifrequency operation modes in traveling wave tubes

Resumo

Equations of the multifrequency nonlinear theory of the traveling wave tube are derived using the fundamental frequency method. Basic results of the numerical calculation of the output parameters of a traveling wave tube operating in the multifrequency mode are presented. The level of sideband components in traveling wave tubes with uniform and nonuniform slow-wave structures and the way of suppression of sideband components are investigated.
