New Method of Integrating Periodic Permanent Magnet (Ppm) Assembly in Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs )

Abstract
In traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifiers, an axial focusing magnetic field is required to keep electrons traveling in a narrow, pencil-like beam over the considerable length of the circuit. Conventionally, this focusing has been accomplished by using a periodic permanent magnet system housing axially polarized ring magnets. Making the structure to this point has been a complicated process consisting of brazing multiple metals together and honing the piece to the desired specifications. We present a new method of fabricating this housing structure monolithically using iron, developing magnetically oversaturated housing regions, and saving processing time and effort.
