摘要: Nonlinear behavior of a traveling wave tube operating at 850 GHz has been studied by performing 3D particle-in-cell simulations. The conversion efficiency to the second harmonic (1700 GHz) is more than 7% when an input signal power 14 dBm applied. Such device could be used as frequency doubler driven combination solid-state source and amplifier.
