Abstract
The results of the development of a meander-type slow-wave system (SS) with metal supports for a miniature high-power W-band traveling wave lamp (TWT) with two ribbon electron beams are presented. Using a three-dimensional finite element software package, the electrodynamic parameters of the GS were studied. A two-section model of a TWT amplifier with a discontinuity has been developed to prevent self-excitation. Three-dimensional modeling of electron-wave interaction was carried out. It was found that with a total beam current of 200 mA in linear mode, the gain exceeds 30 dB in the frequency band 95.4...97.75 GHz, and the output power in saturation mode reaches 120 W. A technology for manufacturing SS based on laser microprocessing of thin copper plates is proposed. Test samples of the SS were manufactured and verified using optical and scanning microscopy.
