TRAVELING-WAVE TUBE MIXER PROGRAM

Abstract

An experimental 2 helix traveling-wave tube mixer was designed and construction has begun. Calculation of the anticipated mixing action, conversion gain, helix loss, coupler design and the problems associated with external helix coupler design are presented. After a thorough analysis of the previously posed beam pumped parametric amplifier, it was decided that no further consideration be given to the device. Conclusions based on data gathered are presented. (Author)
