Ther,al and structural anal1sis o; di;;erent asse,blies #li3e electron gun" slo5 5a)e
structure" R6 coupler and ;our stage depressed collector& o; Ku-.and 140W Short length
space TWT ha)e been carried% Te,perature distribution due to di;;erent sources o; heat
generation in di;;erent asse,blies ha)e been si,ulated !-' using C2S+2S and
corresponding di,ensional de;or,ations ha)e been co,puted% This anal1sis helps in
esti,ating the ,a<i,u, te,perature reached at di;;erent locations o; the tubes under
operating conditions and corresponding di,ensional de;or,ations% The esti,ation o;
di,ensional de;or,ations in critical sensiti)e di,ensions helps in 3eeping the proper
di,ensions in cold conditions so that desired di,ensions are achie)ed in the operating hot
