摘要
A simple metamaterial loading scheme for a helical slow-wave structure was proposed in lieu of a conventional metal vane loading. The proposed structure consists of a helix in a metal envelope supported by rectangular dielectric rods each with I-shaped metal-strip epsilon-negative metamaterial printed on both of its radial faces. Our study, based on CST simulation, showed that the proposed simple structure gives controlled dispersion as obtained by the conventional vane-loaded helix with large interaction impedance values even higher than those of the latter.
