An analysis of a class of corrugated structures is given for the purpose of determining the extent to which slot evanescent modes affect the shape of the dispersion curve. The analysis also permits a critical examination of a previous prediction of conditional confluence in this structure.
An existing analysis of the cylindrical slot-coupled cavity chain is presented and then extended to include the effect of higher normal modes. The accuracy of this extension is examined experimentally. A discussion of zero-mode conditional confluence based upon this theory is presented. Experimental confirmation of zero-mode confluence is made.
The possibility of achieving conditional confluence in the centipede structure and the reversed-loop-coupled cavity chain is discussed. The discussion is based upon an analysis by Bevensee. Two confluence tests are presented to complement the existing one.
Finally, a discussion on the usefulness of auto-confluent structures for accelerator applications is presented. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of / Graduate
