The invention relates to a 0.34 THz travelling
wave tube, and belongs to the field of
microwave vacuum electronic devices. The 0.34 THz travelling
wave tube comprises a slow
wave structure with the
waveguide wide-edge length a of 0.5 mm+ / -0.02 mm, the
waveguide narrow-edge length b of 0.08 mm+ / -0.02 mm, the half-
cycle length p of 0.14 mm+ / -0.02mm, the straight
waveguide length h of 0.21 mm+ / -0.02 mm, the bending waveguide
radius ravg of 0.02 mm+ / -0.01 mm, and the
electron beam channel
radius rt of 0.09 mm+ / -0.01 mm, and a
microwave window with the window plate thickness of 0.1 mm+ / -0.02 mm, the
diameter of 1.8 mm+ / -0.05 mm, the cylindrical
resonant cavity diameter of 1.2 mm+ / -0.05 mm, and the height of 0.1 mm+ / -0.05 mm. According to the 0.34 THz travelling
wave tube, the bandwidth reaches 2 GHz, the
gain reaches 20 dB, the output power reaches 130 mW, the requirement of a 0.34 THz frequency-band terahertz application
system is met, and the 0.34 THz travelling wave tube can be applied to the terahertz
radar and the terahertz communication
system.
