The development of Microwave-Tube Simulator Suite (MTSS) is reported. MTSS is an integrated full-featured software package for microwave-tube analysis and design. It includes a friendly user-interface module and three physics simulators. Microwave-tube design environment is the user-interface module, which provides a powerful solid-modeling front end and graphical and computational postprocessing functionality. Electron optics simulator (EOS) is a fully 3-D finite-element design tool for microwave-tube electron guns and collectors. An EOS is used to design gridded guns, multibeam guns, and anisotropic collectors. A high-frequency circuit simulator is an advanced 3-D electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool for RF components, which has two solution methods based on a finite-integration technique and a finite-element method. Beam-wave interaction simulator (BWIS) is a design tool for electron beam and EM-wave interaction in microwave tubes. The 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D multifrequency nonlinear beam-wave interactions for helix traveling-wave tubes have been implemented in BWIS. The architecture, features, theory, and design of MTSS are presented.
