Presentation On: Travelling Wave Tube Course Code:EEE 3208 Course

This presentation summarizes a travelling wave tube (TWT) amplifier. It begins by introducing TWTs as amplifiers that use distributed interaction between an electron beam and a travelling wave. It then discusses TWT classification and characteristics. The presentation covers the construction of a helix TWT including its electron gun, slow wave structure, attenuator and collector. It explains the mechanism of how an applied signal propagates through the helix and receives energy from the electron beam to become amplified. Applications of TWTs include use in radar, as microwave amplifiers, and for satellite communication.

Helix TWT: Mechanism Of Working

The signal is applied at the


beginning of the helix. The
Applied Signal propagates
through the helix and produces
an electric field at the centre of
the helix.

Microwave, RADAR and Satellite Communication


Helix TWT: Mechanism Of Working

Energy that is delivered from


electron beam, helps the signal
to become larger . At the end of
the helix, amplified signal is
found

Helix TWT: Mechanism Of Working

Focusing magnets ensures that


the electron beam following the
waveguide without dispersion

At collector,

Energy Delivery From Electron Beam to Wave

Electron entering the


retarding field are
decelerated and those in
the accelerating are
accelerated. They begin
forming a bunch centered
about those electrons
that enter the helix
during zero field.

Energy Delivery From Electron Beam to Wave
Helix Attenuator
• In order to prevent oscillation in
the tube due to internal feedback
arising from output impedance The attenuator absorbs not only
mismatch, attenuator is used at the the feedback wave but also the
gun end of the tube. This desired forward wave, but the
attenuator may be a conducting is a trade name for a
