In this paper, a high-precision eigenmode-computation analysis of arbitrary azimuthal mode numbers in periodic disc-loaded structure based on variational method will be discussed. It allows for rounding the edge of a disk hole without any approximation in shape treatment and calculates the modes exactly synchronous to the beam. It converges much faster than the mesh-based computer code. Good agreement was observed between the results of variational method and those of other methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
