Helix-plasma coupling
Abstract
As efforts continue to effectively utilize the microwave frequencies
a need is apparent for a traveling wave type device capable of handling
greater power at higher frequencies . One possible solution is the
plasma microwave amplifier tube. This paper discusses an analysis of the plasma - helix coupling
problem which may hopefully lead to development of such a device
whereby the R. F. energy is coupled directly to the plasma with a
helix, rather than coupling to an electron beam as has been the case
heretofore. A theoretical analysis is presented, and the computer
solution to the analytical equations evolved and the resulting w-B
plots are included. This writer wishes to express his appreciation for the assistance
and inspiration provided by Dr. Glen A„ Gray of the U. S, Naval
Postgraduate School in carrying out this investigation.
