Abstract
The effect of a space charge on solutions to the previously obtained universal characteristic equations and, accordingly, on amplification in traveling-wave tubes (TWTs) with periodic slow-wave structures (SWSs) is considered. The peculiarities of electron waves differing from the predictions of the Pierce theory, which is valid only for TWTs with smooth SWSs, are reported.
