Abstract
A wide band travelling wave amplifier including an input waveguide coaxia disposed about an interaction waveguide. Both waveguides are tapered with the same direction of increasing cross-section. The interaction waveguide is a high-pass filter while the input waveguide is a low pass filter. The input waveguide is positioned relative to the interaction waveguide so that each cutoff plane in the input waveguide corresponding to a given frequency, .omega..sub.c, is displaced in the direction of increasing cross-section from a cutoff plane in the interaction waveguide corresponding to .omega..sub.c where .omega..sub.c is any frequency in the frequency band of the amplifier. A slot, disposed between the cutoff planes corresponding to .omega..sub.c couples the .omega..sub.c frequency component of an input wave from the input waveguide to the interaction waveguide.
