  • Abstract
    This correspondence describes an apparent instability observed in TWT (traveling-wave tube) computer calculations when a lumped attenuator was included. The instability was shown to be an interference pattern between the original wave and a wave traveling in the opposite direction. The latter wave was introduced by the computer to meet the boundary conditions.
