Abstract

A slow-wave structure intended for use in solid-state traveling-wave amplifiers is described. The structure is a meander line with adjacent conducting elements electrically connected by lumped capacitors. The dispersion curve is derived and shown to agree with experiment. The structure is found to have a passband which is dependent on the coupling capacitors. The interaction impedance is estimated.
