| Description | Experimental measurements of the dispersion characteristics of a C-band helix structure were carried out and compared to the dispersion characteristics found from a helix model using the three-dimensional electromagnetic computer code MAFIA. A conceptually novel design comprising a helical thread of the same pitch and inner diameter in a cylindrical waveguide also were calculated using the MAFIA code. The helical-groove structure exhibits a smaller bandwidth but at a much higher frequency range than the traditional helical structure for similar physical dimensions. It is physically more robust in construction. The interaction impedance also compares favorably with those of the conventional structure. |
