Compact, high power, and efficient, planar THz Backward Wave Oscillators (THz-BWOs) with single sheet electron beam and multiple sheet electron beams are investigated. Staggered double-vane loaded rectangular waveguide slow-wave structure (SDV-SWS) is selected for a compact, planar THz-BWO due to its inherent compatibility for sheet beam operation and having high interaction impedance, low circuit loss and large bandwidth. Also, it is easier to fabricate the SDV-SWS by MEMS technology with high precision and surface finish. The structure can also be easily modified by selecting higher-order mode for operation using two or more sheet beams. Simplified analytical approach is presented for determining initial design parameters of SDV-SWS for a high power planar THz-BWO with single sheet beam and multiple sheet beams. The determined initial design parameters of SDV-SWS for planar THz BWOs are found to be in good agreement with the published results that were confirmed using the 3D electromagnetic simulation code CST. © Anita Publications.
