  • Abstract
    This paper describes the effects of ionized gas particles on the performance of low-power traveling-wave tabes. Correlation between theoretical design and actual performance is briefly discussed for low-level (10-milliwatt) traveling-wave tubes using convergent and parallel-flow electron guns. The degradation of performance produced by the presence of ions which tend to neutralize space charge is discussed at length.
