Abstract :
Describes recent progress in the development of design tools for vacuum electronics and presents plans for future developments in this area. The paper will focus on the development of a design tool suite relevant to helix TWT design. Specifically, results from both one-dimensional and three-dimensional modeling of helix TWTs using the CHRISTINE design tool suite are presented.
