  • Patent number: 4455507
    Abstract: A termination device for absorbing RF energy waves in the termination chamber of a traveling wave tube. The termination device is formed by modifying two wedge shaped termination devices of the prior art. Specifically, two well known single wedge termination devices are sliced in half to produce two wedges each one half the thickness of the prior art single wedge device. The two halves are positioned with their newly formed surface, formed by the slicing, in opposed facing contact. The new double wedge thus has the same thickness as the prior single wedge and is readily accommodated within the termination chamber. The double wedge termination device greatly reduces small signal gain variations across the operating frequency band of the traveling wave tube.
