Investigation of terahertz sheet beam traveling wave tube amplifier with nanocomposite cathode

Particle-in-cell simulations of a staggered double grating array traveling wave tube intended as a wideband amplifier for terahertz communications, sensing, and imaging applications showed that, for an electron beam power of 5 kW, it produces 150–275 W, corresponding to 3%–5.5% electronic efficiency...

description Particle-in-cell simulations of a staggered double grating array traveling wave tube intended as a wideband amplifier for terahertz communications, sensing, and imaging applications showed that, for an electron beam power of 5 kW, it produces 150–275 W, corresponding to 3%–5.5% electronic efficiency, at 0.22 THz with over ∼ 30 % bandwidth and with greater than 12 dB/cm growth rate. The circuit has been fabricated by both UV lithography and high precision computer-numerical-control machining with ∼ 2 – 3   μ m dimensional tolerance and ∼ 50   nm surface roughness. A scandate nanocomposite ( Sc 2 O 3 – W ) cathode for the electron beam source has successfully emitted 120   A / cm 2 (space charge limited) at 1150   ° C and 50   A / cm 2 at 1050   ° C for 8000 h as required to produce the requisite high current density electron beam.
