The invention discloses and especially relates to a secondary harmonic inhibition method for a broadband helix travelling wave tube, and belongs to the technical field of broadband helix travelling wave tubes. Within a certain range, a travelling wave tube harmonic inhibition situation becomes greater if a distance between a fin to a center is reduced, however, the reduced distance will make the fin closer to a helix and might cause engineering machining troubles and many other potential troubles. Therefore, two different fin structures are adopted by an input segment and an output segment respectively, and the distance from a fin on the input segment to the center is made to be greater. Through the even and symmetric fin structure, a better harmonic inhibition effect is exhibited, and other factors in terms of the design of a travelling wave tube can be better weighed.
