A square cross section planar helix with straightedge connections has been simulated with a cylindrical electron beam for traveling-wave tube amplifier application. The saturated output peak power varies from 0.65 W to 2.58 W over the frequency range of 85-110 GHz. The maximum electronic efficiency...
