Application and validation of Microwave Tube Simulator Suite

Microwave Tube Simulator Suite (MTSS) is a full-featured, tightly integrated software package for microwave tube analysis and design. It includes a friendly user interface module and five physics simulators. Microwave Tube Design Environment (MTDE) is the user interface module, which provides a powerful solid modeling front-end and graphical and computational post-processing functionality. Electron Optics Simulator (EOS) is a fully three-dimensional finite-element design tool for microwave tube electron guns and collectors. High Frequency Circuit Simulator (HFCS) is an advanced, three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation tool for RF components. Beam Wave Interaction Simulator (BWIS) is a design tool for the electron beam and electromagnetic wave interaction. Magnet Simulator (MS) is a magnetic focus system simulation tool. Windows Simulator (WS) is an advanced S-Parameter simulator based on three-dimensional finite element method. Researchers and designers can use MTSS to model and simulate the entire microwave tube, including solid modeling, simulation of all components and post-processing. The data exchange between all modules is automatic. Application and validation of MTSS will be presented.
