Inhaltsangabe
This book delves into the mathematical intricacies of waveguides, an essential component in the development of traveling wave tubes, which play a critical role in high-gain amplifiers and low-noise level applications. The author explores the unique boundary conditions for an idealized helical waveguide, where the electric field component in the helical direction vanishes on the waveguide surface while the magnetic field component remains continuous. The author presents a rigorous analysis of the wave equation for this idealized waveguide, leading to the identification of real solutions corresponding to non-attenuated modes. The book focuses on the existence and characterization of these real solutions, investigating their properties and relationships through a series of mathematical theorems. By studying the functions associated with the wave equation, the author establishes ordering principles for the modes and uncovers the behavior of these functions as the waveguide parameters vary. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of the propagation characteristics of waves in helical waveguides. The book's insights advance the theoretical foundation of helical waveguides, offering valuable knowledge for researchers and practitioners working in the fields of microwave engineering, vacuum electronics, and related areas.

Excerpt from A Helical Wave Guide II
In recent years a great deal of research has been done on an ultra-high frequency amplifier known as the traveling-wave It has been found that this tube possesses the desirable properties of high gain, broad bandwidth, and low noise level. The essential part of the tube is a helical transmission line which is designed to pass an electromagnetic wave with wave length along the guide, and hence phase velocity along the guide, smaller than that of the free-space wave by a factor of about thirteen. An electron beam with a velocity approximately equal to the phase velocity of the electromagnetic wave is shot down the center of the helical guide. The electromagnetic wave and the electron beam interact, and as a result the wave amplitude is magnified.
