    sanjida jahan
    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.

    Introduction to TWT: Classification
    • Helix
    It is an TWT
    amplifier which makes use ofCoupled
    distributedCavity
    interaction
    TWT
    between an electron beam and a travelling wave.
    • It’s a Linear Beam Tube.
    • Particularly suitable for amplification of very high frequency
    such as 3000Mc and higher.

    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,
    electrons are
    collected

    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
