This article describes the hot and cold test analysis of a traveling wave tube. Such a simulation uses a broad spectrum of the solvers available in CST STUDIO SUITE™. The complete simulation procedure is shown. First the electron gun is analyzed. Then the dispersion characteristics of the slow wave structure are evaluated. Finally the particle in cell (PIC) simulation of the beam inside the vacuum tube is performed. Read full article..

Electron guns are the starting point of every charged particle application. There the DC energy is translated into an extracted beam which later on interacts with all kinds of RF structures. The design and analysis of an electron gun can be performed with the tracking code of CST PARTICLE STUDIO® as shown in this article. Read full article..
