| Abstract | The interaction between a slow-wave structure (SWS) and an electron beam has been investigated by Pierce (J. R. Pierce, Bell System Technical Journal 29(3) 390–460, 1950) and several other contemporaries, leading to amplification regimes for traveling wave tubes. Slow-wave structures can be designed using homogenous or periodic waveguide structures to achieve synchronous phase velocity to the electron beam, and desirable interaction impedance. A multi-transmission line (MTL) model of homogenous SWSs has been investigated in (A. Tamma and F. Capolino, IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. 2(4) 899–910, 2014), which accurately models wave propagating and amplification inside MTL-electron beam coupled system. Here we demonstrate a new regime of amplification for traveling wave tubes based on synchronizing the degenerate band edge in the dispersion diagram of periodic structures with the electron beam. A degenerate band edge (DBE) is a photonic band edge condition that is manifested in periodic waveguide structures supporting two modes or more, and results in a very dramatic reduction in group velocity (A. Figotin and I. Vitebskiy, Phys. Rev. E 72(3), 036619, 2005). We show that the interaction between an electron beam and SWS working at the DBE can produce simultaneous amplification in more than one propagating mode, unlike the case with uniform MTL-beam interaction where solely one mode can be amplified (M. Othman et al., arXiv:1411.1046, 2014). We develop a theoretical framework for such an unconventional interaction in both time and frequency domain, using a periodic MTL approach with the help of Floquet theorem. A MTL-electron beam finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm is also developed to show the advantages of utilizing a DBE in a traveling wave tube, where we demonstrate the required conditions for amplification and oscillation. Various considerations are taken into account, such as losses, space-charge effects in the electron beam, and loading effects. Theory developed here may have a major impact on the enhancement of the efficiency, gain, and overall performance of traveling wave tubes for high power microwave generation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
