The Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT) is a powerful vacuum electronic device used to amplify radio-frequency (RF) signals as well as numerous applications such as radar, television and telephone satellite communications. This monograph is devoted to the author's original theoretical developments in the theory of a traveling wave tube (TWT).Most of the monograph is the author's original work on an analytical theory of TWTs. It is a constructive Lagrangian field theory of TWT in which the electron beam (e-beam) is represented by one-dimensional multi-stream electron flow and the guiding slow-wave structure is represented by possibly non-uniform multi-transmission line (MTL). The proposed analytic theory accounts for a number of electron plasma phenomena including space-charge effects such as electron-to-electron repulsion (debunching), convective instabilities, wave-particle interaction, amplifying waves and more. It allows, in particular, to (i) identify origins of the wave-particle interaction and the system convective instability (exponential growth); (ii) evaluate the energy transfer rate from the e-beam to the electromagnetic radiation; (iii) identify instability modal branches which under condition of sufficiently strong coupling between the e-beam and the MTL can cover ideally all frequencies.

A brief description and important conclusions are given on work done at the Electronics Research Laboratory of the University of California for the Wright Air Development Division during the period December 15, 1959, through December 15, 1960. The work includes theoretical and experimental studies on high-temperature plasmas and the containment thereof, electron beams, fast-wave interaction with electron streams, solid-state and electron-beam parametric amplifiers, backward-wave interaction with waves on a ferrite rod or in plasmas, large-signal effects in traveling-wave tubes, and novel fast space-charge wave devices.

&Quot;This book focuses on a fundamental feature of vacuum electronics: the strong interaction of the physics of electron beams and vacuum microwave electronics, including millimeter-wave electronics. The author guides readers from the roots of classical vacuum electronics to the most recent achievements in the field, exploring both the physics and the theory underlying electron beams and devices of vacuum high-frequency electronics. Special attention is devoted to the physics and theory of relativistic beams and microwave devices. Readers gain a deep understanding of the topic as well as the theory and applications of specific devices."--BOOK JACKET.
