Abstract
The effect of plated helix on heat dissipation capability of the slow-wave circuit is studied in this paper. With the plated helix, the improvement of the heat dissipation capability of the slow-wave circuit is estimated and evaluated. The influence of helices coated with copper film and gold film is analyzed and verified by computer simulation and experimental tests. The tests show good agreement with the theoretical analysis. The conclusions will make good reference to the design and improvement of the helix TWT.
