INTRODUCTION
TRAVELLING WAVE TUBE
A TRAVELLING-WAVE TUBE (TWT) IS AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE USED TO AMPLIFY RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS TO HIGH POWER.

THE BANDWIDTH OF A TWT RANGE FROM 300 MHZ TO 50 GHZ.

THE VOLTAGE GAIN OF THE TUBE CAN BE OF THE ORDER OF 70 DECIBELS

TYPE OF TRAVELLING WAVE TUBE

THERE ARE TWO TYPE OF TWT:
O-TYPE TWT M-TYPE TWT O- STANDS FOR ORDINARY M- STANDS FOR MAGNETIC

PRINCIPLE OF O-TYPE TWT

THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF A TWT LIES IN THE INTERACTION BETWEEN AN ELECTRON BEAM AND AN RF SIGNAL. BASED UPON VELOCITY MODULATION TECHNIQUE

DEVICE STRUCTURE
TWT MAINLY CONSISTS OF FOLLOWING :
ELONGATED VACUUM TUBE WITH ELECTRON GUN A FOCUSING ELECTRODE A DIRECTIONAL COUPLER A HELIX WIRE

MATLAB
MATLAB (matrix laboratory) IS A NUMERICAL COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT AND FOURTH-GENERATION PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE DEVELOPED BY MATHWORKS MATLAB ALLOWS MATRIX MANIPULATIONS PLOTTING OF FUNCTIONS AND DATA IMPLEMENTATION OF ALGORITHMS CREATION OF USER INTERFACES INTERFACING WITH PROGRAMS WRITTEN IN OTHER LANGUAGES INCLUDING C, C++ AND FORTRAN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
THIS PROJECT INVOLVES SOFTWARE DESIGNING OF AN O-TYPE TRAVELING WAVE TUBE USING MATLAB GIVING RESULTS: THE CALCULATION OF THE TWT GAIN. THE COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED WITH THOSE OF THE EXISTING ONES.

USES AND SCOPE

AS AMPLIFIERS IN SATELLITE TRANSPONDERS IN RADAR IN ELECTRONIC WARFARE IN ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY TEST IN COMMUNICATION

Phases of Project
Phase 1: Resourse Gathering(25th sept 2010) Phase 2: Solving Differential Eqn(30th oct 2010) Phase 3: Programing by Matlab(15th jan 2011) Phase 4: Simulation using Tool Box(5th feb 2011) Phase 5: Testing of Design(20th feb 2011) Phase 6: Documentation(27th feb 2011) Project Completion:1st March 2011

Work Allotment
Phase 1: Ankit Pandey & Ankit Prasad Phase 2: All Members Phase 3: Ankit pandey & Ashish Kumar Phase 4: Ankit Saxena & Ankit Prasad Phase 5: Ankit Pandey Phase 6: All Members

CONCLUSION
TWT HAVE HIGH POWER OUTPUT, HIGH GAIN, AND EASE OF OPERATION MAKE THEM THE IDEAL WAY TO RUN POWER AT MICROWAVE FREQUENCIES. POWER AMPLIFICATION MAY RANGE FROM MILLIWATTS TO MEGAWATTS.
