  • Abstract
    A brief summary of some new computations of the incremental propagation constants for a traveling-wave tube is presented in the form of graphs. The data includes values of the wave growth factor x1for larger values of the loss parameter d . The computations for large values of the space-charge parameter QC and of the gain parameter C have revealed an anomalous propagation region for negative ranges of the velocity parameter b, which shows the transition from resistive-wall type interaction to the usual traveling-wave tube type interaction.
