Theoretical analysis of wave dispersion in the slow-wave structure such as a coaxial ribbed line

Abstract

The wave dispersion in the slow-wave structure such as a coaxial ribbed line has been analyzed. For the case of the excitation of an axially symmetric wave in this structure, the generalized dispersion equation has been obtained using the method of sewing the conductivities. The particular cases of a solution of the dispersion equation have been analyzed, as well as its solutions for relatively high and low frequencies, since these cases are of practical interest. The parameters of a coaxial ribbed line have been simulated and the dependences of the slowing coefficient and the wave impedance of the structure on its geometrical dimensions have been obtained.
