We report on progress in developing a travelling wave tube amplifier with significant gain and power at 220 GHz. This paper provides an overview of the program, describing fabrication and test of slow-wave structures with bandwidths exceeding 50 GHz centered at 220 GHz, the production of a sheet electron beam, development of a solid state preamplifier delivering 50 mW to the tube with > 17 dB of gain and beam-wave simulation of the entire circuit leading to expected output powers of over 50 W. Two further papers from the group are also submitted to IVEC: from UC Davis describing the interaction structure fabrication and hot test, and from CPI describing the sheet electron beam, TWT design and beam - wave simulations. The tube is currently under test and results will be reported in this paper. |
