Abstract
A travelling-wave tube has a cylindrical sleeve containing a delay line and a coupling device between the delay line and an external microwave circuit for removal or injection of microwave energy. This external circuit comprises a transmission line possessing a conductive internal core. A conductive part is placed at one end of the delay line. It has a coupling pin that projects inwards into the sleeve and is brazed to an end of the delay line. The conductive part is brazed to the sleeve. The coupling between the delay line and the external circuit is made between the part and the internal conductive core of the transmission line. This coupling is without contact, a narrow gap being prepared between the external surface of the part located on the side of the coupling pin and the internal conductive core.
