The application discloses a radial
electron beam staggered grid structure
traveling wave amplifier, which comprises coaxial staggered grid leaves with different radii and made of
metal at the lower side and the upper side of upper and lower
metal ring shells, the lower side and the upper side of the grid leaves are staggered, and a cavity is formed between the lower side and the upper side of the grid leaves, thereby forming a slow
wave structure. Electromagnetic
waves are injected from the cavity between two adjacent grid leaves at the lower side of the upper
metal ring shell or the upper side of the lower metal ring shell near a
hot cathode through an input structure as a
signal to be amplified, the electromagnetic
waves are transmitted along the cavity in the coaxial staggered grid and interact with
electron beams transmitted along the radial direction, thereby converting
electron kinetic energy into electromagnetic wave energy, amplifying the input electromagnetic wave
signal, and outputting the amplified electromagnetic
waves from the lower metal ring shell or the upper metal ring shell through an output structure. The application has the characteristics of high interaction efficiency, high output power, high
coupling impedance and simple structure.
