Abstract

For the deep investigation of electron tubes-such as traveling wave tubes-simulation software is necessary. It helps to a priori analyze the structure, improve the design and therefore speed up the development process. The software used in this paper is the CST studio suitetrade. In detail CST microwave studio^reg (MWS) is used for the cold test simulations. The charged particles are included via CST particle studio^reg, the successor of MAFIA. The software is based on the finite integration technique (FIT) and includes a sophisticated particle in cell code. The design of the helical traveling wave tube was performed by Teraphysics Corporation.
