Analysis of the properties of slow-wave structures based on coaxial resonators coupled by two arc-shaped waveguides

Аннотация

The dispersion and the coupling resistance of spatial harmonics of slow-wave structures formed by a chain of coaxial resonators coupled by arc-shaped waveguides are theoretically analyzed. A 3D vector boundary value problem is solved in the rigorous electromagnetic formulation with the use of projection methods. The 2D problems of excitation of a coaxial resonator are considered and amplitudes of excited waves are determined and used for solution of the 3D problem of the junction of arc-shaped waveguides and a coaxial resonator. The dispersion equation for the considered slow-wave structure is obtained. The results of calculation of the dispersion and the coupling resistance for different numbers and different configurations of coupling apertures are analyzed.
