technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microwave vacuum devices, and relates to an output structure for high-power microwave vacuum devices, in particular to a novel ultra-wideband output structure of a strip-shaped electron beam traveling wave tube. Background technique [0002] The ribbon beam microwave vacuum device is a device that converts the kinetic energy of electrons carried by the ribbon beam into microwave energy through the movement of electrons in vacuum. The electron gun produces a beam of electrons in the ribbon beam, and the electron beam moves towards the high-frequency structure under the constraint of the voltage between the anode and the cathode and the applied magnetic field. The electron beam interacts with the high-frequency field in the high-frequency structure, converting the energy of the electrons into high-frequency energy. In order to realize the beam interaction process, it is necessary to couple the high-frequency input s...

However, since the size of the ridge waveguide is usually fixed, the electron beam will inevitably diverge during the transmission process and hit the waveguide wall, destroying the output structure and affecting the performance and life of the tube; and in order to increase the flow rate of electrons, The size of the ridge waveguide should not be too small, which will cause part of the electromagnetic wave to enter the collector region, which will affect the performance and stability of the device; at the same time, although the curved waveguide can guide the elec
