Generally, microwave electron tubes generate several thousand volts to accelerate the electron beam. Requires high voltage.

Figure 1 shows the tendency of frequency characteristics using the slow wave circuit electrode voltage of the traveling wave tube as a parameter, and 1 indicates the bandwidth.
When the slow wave circuit electrode voltage is synchronized to approximately the center frequency 2 of 1 and 3 , 2 is when the slow wave circuit electrode voltage is synchronized to the higher frequency of the bandwidth,
3 is the opposite of characteristic 2, when the slow wave circuit electrode voltage is synchronized to the lower frequency of the bandwidth, 4 is the case where the bandwidth is roughly divided into two and the output is flattened in the low frequency band (between 1 and 2 ). When the slow wave circuit electrode voltage is set to give the best charge, 4' divides the bandwidth into approximately two parts, resulting in a high bandwidth (
2 to 3 ), the characteristics are shown when the slow wave circuit electrode voltage is set to provide the best flatness of the output. It can be seen from FIG. 1 that the traveling wave tube can be operated over a wider band and with better output uniformity by switching the two slow wave circuit electrode voltages.

FIG. 2 shows a circuit of a conventional high-voltage power supply device for obtaining flat characteristics. When the switch 11 is turned on, a high voltage determined by the primary and secondary turns ratio of the high voltage transformer 12 is generated, and the rectifying and smoothing circuits 13 and 1
4, 15, 16 through the collector electrode voltage, accelerating electrode voltage, and the first slow wave circuit electrode voltage between the cathode and terminal A.
Ehel 1 and a second slow wave circuit electrode voltage Ehel 2 are output between the cathode and terminal B, respectively. Switching between the two slow wave circuit electrode voltages is done using a switch 17 provided on the high voltage side.
However, when switching the switch 17, there is a moment when the switching contact is not connected to either terminal A or terminal B. The slow-wave circuit electrode voltage is not applied to the traveling-wave tube at this instant, and this causes an increase in the slow-wave circuit electrode current, which adversely affects the life of the traveling-wave tube, and the switch 17 must be operated frequently. In the worst case, this can lead to damage to the traveling wave tube. In addition, since a high voltage is applied to each terminal of the switch 17, a sufficient withstand voltage must be provided, resulting in the disadvantage that the entire power supply device becomes bulky and expensive.
