Hamiltonian Model of Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier in Space Domain
A spatial Hamiltonian model is built to describe the evolution of electrons and the electromagnetic field within a traveling wave tube (TWT), neglecting space charge and magnetic field effects. This model rigorously characterizes the wave-beam interaction and the associated momentum exchanges between the field and the electron beam, providing a detailed understanding of the amplification mechanisms in the TWT.
