Un tube à ondes progressives (TOP) dont la fonction est d'amplifier des signaux de très hautes fréquences (12 GHz), comporte trois parties : d'abord le canon à électrons où les électrons sont émis par une cathode, focalisés par des électrodes (Wehnelt), l'anode permettant de régler le courant du faisceau d'électrons : ensuite la structure à retard est constituée d'une hélice en cuivre à pas variable, le long de laquelle se propage une onde électromagnétique. La vitesse (de phase) de cette onde est donc un peu moins rapide que celle du faisceau d'électrons qui se propage en ligne droite au milieu de l'hélice. Et le champ électrique de cette onde tend à freiner les électrons du faisceau qui cèdent alors de l'énergie à l'onde électromagnétique : il y a amplification. Le collecteur, enfin, est chargé de recueillir les électrons qui sortent de l'hélice et récupère une partie de leur énergie initiale puisqu'ils n'en ont cédé que 10 à 20 pour cent à l'onde RF (radiofréquence). 6, record 2, French, - tube%20%C3%A0%20onde%20progressive
