Title: Electromagnetic theory and applications in beam-wave electronics
First published: 1996
Description: This book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with basic electromagnetic and the second part with beam-wave electronics related to growing-wave devices including 'slow-wave' travelling-wave tubes and 'fast-wave' gyro-travelling-wave tubes. The first part is a prerequisite for the second part, while the second part covers the applications of the topics discussed in the first part. These two parts put together make the volume a self-contained treatise.

In the specific applications considered, time-independent field concepts are exemplified in the problems related to the formation of an electron beam by an electron gun, the confinement of an electron beam by a magnetic focusing structure, etc.

Similarly, time-dependent field concepts are exemplified in problems related to propagation through a slow-wave structure and amplification in growing-wave electron beam devices, such as travelling-wave tubes, double-stream amplifiers, beam-plasma amplifiers and gyro-travelling-wave tubes. All throughout the text, stress is given to provide complete analytical deductions with full mathematical details and present the state-of-the-art concepts.
Subjects: Microwave tubes, Traveling-wave tubes, Electron tubes, Electromagnetism
