STUDY OF MILLIMETER-WAVE TUBES

Abstract

Techniques were developed for fabricating the components of a millimeter-wave traveling-wave tube. A study of surface conductivity and the factors that determine the optimum values indicated a need for special care in tube assembly so that minimum circuit loss and maximum tube efficiency can be obtained. High-area-compression electron-gun designs were investigated, and initial results demonstrated 92% transmission of a nominally 0.015-in. diam electron beam through a 0.020-in. diam drift tube.
