Abstract

A slow-wave structure composed of a grating inside a rectangular waveguide is analyzed. This type of slow-wave structure is examined for use in a low-voltage amplifier application with a sheet electron beam. Dispersion curves, mode field profiles, and taper designs for the waveguide-grating are presented. The amplifier application places stringent requirements on the taper sections that match the smooth waveguide to the waveguide-grating with minimal reflection.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
