INTRODUCTION

TRAVELLING WAVE TUBE

A TRAVELLING-WAVE TUBE (TWT) IS
AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE USED TO AMPLIFY RADIO
FREQUENCY SIGNALS TO HIGH POWER.

THE BANDWIDTH OF A TWT RANGE FROM 300 MHZ TO

50 GHZ.

THE VOLTAGE GAIN OF THE TUBE CAN BE OF THE

ORDER OF 70 DECIBELS
TYPE OF TRAVELLING WAVE TUBE

THERE ARE TWO TYPE OF TWT:

O-TYPE TWT
M-TYPE TWT

O- STANDS FOR ORDINARY

M- STANDS FOR MAGNETIC

PRINCIPLE OF O-TYPE TWT
THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
OF A TWT LIES IN THE INTERACTION
BETWEEN AN ELECTRON BEAM AND AN RF
SIGNAL.

BASED UPON VELOCITY MODULATION

TECHNIQUE
DEVICE STRUCTURE

TWT MAINLY CONSISTS OF

FOLLOWING :

ELONGATED VACUUM TUBE WITH

ELECTRON GUN

A FOCUSING ELECTRODE

A DIRECTIONAL COUPLER
MATLAB
MATLAB (matrix laboratory) IS A NUMERICAL COMPUTING
ENVIRONMENT AND 
FOURTH-GENERATION PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

DEVELOPED BY MATHWORKS

MATLAB ALLOWS MATRIX MANIPULATIONS

PLOTTING OF FUNCTIONS AND DATA

IMPLEMENTATION OF ALGORITHMS

CREATION OF USER INTERFACES

INTERFACING WITH PROGRAMS WRITTEN IN OTHER LANGUAGES

INCLUDING C, C++ AND FORTRAN
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
THIS PROJECT INVOLVES SOFTWARE DESIGNING
OF AN O-TYPE TRAVELING WAVE TUBE USING
MATLAB GIVING RESULTS:

THE CALCULATION OF THE TWT GAIN.

THE COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED

WITH THOSE OF THE EXISTING ONES.
USES AND SCOPE
AS AMPLIFIERS IN SATELLITE TRANSPONDERS

IN RADAR

IN ELECTRONIC WARFARE

IN ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY TEST

IN COMMUNICATION

CONCLUSION
TWT HAVE HIGH POWER OUTPUT, HIGH
GAIN, AND EASE OF OPERATION MAKE
THEM THE IDEAL WAY TO RUN POWER AT
MICROWAVE FREQUENCIES.

POWER AMPLIFICATION MAY RANGE

FROM MILLIWATTS TO MEGAWATTS.
