Abstract :
A simple design approach for the slow wave structure (SWS) of a Ka-band 40 W helix TWT has been developed. Two software CST MWS and in house developed SUNRAY-1D have been used to design helical slow wave structure for meeting the desired power (>40 W), gain (>45 dB) and electronic efficiency (>14%).
