  • Abstract
    A weighted residual FEM formulation suitable for the electromagnetic model analysis of periodic structures to give numerical k- beta relationships and field patterns is introduced. A two-dimensional realisation of the formulation applying to open-sided ridged waveguides agrees well with analysis. The general method described could be applicable to practical travelling wave tube slow wave structures.
