Abstract
A semianalytical method for the design and analysis of high-efficienty (> 50%) generation of radiation in traveling output structures is pre sented. No a priori assumption about the functional form of the electr omagnetic field is required. The concept of scalar interaction impedan ce used in periodic structures is generalized to a matrix in the case of a nonperiodic system. Its eigenvalue is shown to be directly relate d to the beam-wave interaction efficiency. The method is demonstrated with the design and analysis of a 70% efficiency system.
