Abstract :
This paper describes a cavity-by-cavity approach to the calculation of TWT performance, instead of the usual wave interaction method. Space charge forces are calculated from a potential table. The method is fast enough to run on a time-sharing computer. Examples of the kind of information obtainable are given.
