Abstract :
The tri-service MMACE program has developed a numerical framework for the design of microwave power tubes, with particular attention to the design of helix TWTs. This paper will describe a new model for the cold-test, small-signal and large-signal behavior of microwave power tubes that is under development as part of the MMACE tools initiative. Its architecture and projected capabilities will be described, and first results will be presented.
