  • Abstract
    A helix-type traveling-wave tube has been developed that provides 100 watts CW in the frequency range of 12.4 to 18 GHz. The paper presents the design approach used for the tube, choice of electrical parameters, construction details, and measured performance. During the development program we found that r-f performance and CW operation of the tube were critically dependent on helix materials. Problems encountered and their solutions will be described.
