The coupling impedance of vane-loaded tape helix slow-wave structure

  • Published:
Journal of Electronics (China)

Abstract

Based on the actual vane-loaded tape helix slow wave structure, a new theoretical analytic model for calculating coupling impedance is proposed by Chen Qingyou, et al.(1999) with calculated values of dispersion in good agreement with measured ones. In this paper, it is continued to use this model to calculate the coupling impedance of such a structure, and analyze the effects of the propagation power within vane gaps and the helix gap on the coupling impedance. As a result, the theoretical values are found to be in good agreement with the measured ones, with the maximum difference less than ±18%.
