Magnetic Bubble Traveling-Wave Amplifier.
Abstract
A theoretical investigation is presented that exploits the magnetic bubble phenomena for producing a new type of traveling-wave amplifier (TWA) called the Magnetic Bubble Traveling-Wave Amplifier (MBTWA). The theoretical analysis follows the method used by J. R. Pierce in determining the four (4) space charge waves on an elementary electron stream. Calculations include the determination of the propagation constants, velocity-voltage relationship, and gain parameter. Numerical estimates for velocity, voltage, and gain parameter are given. Also, some important aspects of the MBTWA are pointed out which give support to the view that this device could be applicable for high frequency operation in the millimeter wave spectrum. (Author)
