Popis: This paper describes the investigation of harmonic generation in traveling-wave tubes (TWT's) via large-signal analysis and digital computer techniques. Efficiency degradation and harmonic power content are shown to be importantly related to such TWT design considerations as circuit dispersion, harmonic coupling impedance ratio, and gain level. Also described is the phenomenon of second harmonic interference in the beam bunching process and how it leads to substantial efficiency reduction in TWT's employing relatively nondispersive structures.
