A low-frequency-band
convolution backward
wave tube structure disclosed by the present invention comprises a
cut-off transition section, an interaction section and an output transition section which are coaxially connected in sequence, the
cut-off transition section is internally provided with a
cathode structure, the interaction section is cylindrical, the interior of the interaction section is in a
vacuum state, the interior of the interaction section is connected with a
metamaterial unit sequence, and the output transition section is internally connected with a collector. The
metamaterial unit sequence comprises a plurality of three-elliptical-ring
metamaterial units which are connected at intervals in the axial direction of the interaction section, a
dislocation angle is formed between every two adjacent three-elliptical-ring metamaterial units, the metamaterial unit sequence provides backward
waves in the interaction section, and under the action of an external
voltage and an axial
magnetic field, the metamaterial unit sequence can generate a three-elliptical-ring metamaterial. The
cut-off transition section reflects the backward wave back to the interaction section and cuts off the wave with the frequency lower than 2.41 GHz, the metamaterial unit sequence enables electromagnetic energy to be directed to a TE11 mode, the output transition section radiates the electromagnetic energy in the TE11 mode, and a miniaturized structure of the TE11 mode can be achieved at a
low frequency band.
