ELECTROMAGNETIC THEO & APPLN IN BEAM…

This book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with basic electromagnetics and the second part with beam-wave electronics in growing-wave devices including ‘slow-wave’ traveling-wave tubes and ‘fast-wave’ gyro-traveling-wave tubes. The first part is a prerequisite for the second part, while the second part covers the application of the topics discussed in the first part. These two parts put together make the volume 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 provide 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 organised within the main text instead of being relegated to the end of the chapters.
