We addressed the three-dimensional, nonlinear beam-wave interaction in a traveling wave tube (TWT) with dynamic velocity taper helix. The large signal TWT code was written, based on the three dimensional field model and the numerical space charge field distribution;and the cold test was performed by using the surface current distribution of the taper helix. The nonlinear property of the C-band TWT with the dynamic velocity taper (DVT) technology was charac- terized;and its efficiency was found to be up to 42% by analyzing the AM/AM and AM/PM nonlinear properties. The electronic structures of the spent beam and the precise three-dimensional traces obtained provide the reliable information for the design of the multiple-depressed collector (MDC).
