Electromagnetic Theory And Applications In Beam-wave Electronics

Divided into two parts, the first part of this text deals with basic electromagnetics and the second part with beam-wave electronics in 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 which covers the application of the topics discussed in the first part. Overall, the volume is a self-contained treatise. In the specific application considered, both time-independent and time-dependent field concepts are exemplified, unlike in the usual topics, such as waveguides, antennas etc. of microwave engineering, where only time-dependent field concepts are applied. Stress is given to providing complete analytical derivation. However, care has been taken to see that the theme of the subject is not buried in too many mathematical details. These details are, however, not sacrificed as they are provided in a large number of appendices organized within the main text instead of being relegated to the end of the chapters.
