How to Evaluate Pitch Angle?

Pitch Angle evaluator uses Pitch Angle = arsin(Phase Velocity/[c]) to evaluate the Pitch Angle, Pitch Angle refers to the angle between the axis of the helix and the direction of propagation of the electron beam. The helix is a key component of the TWT, which consists of a cylindrical metal wire wound in a helical pattern along the length of a vacuum tube. Pitch Angle is denoted by ψp symbol.

FAQs on Pitch Angle

What is the formula to find Pitch Angle?
The formula of Pitch Angle is expressed as Pitch Angle = arsin(Phase Velocity/[c]). Here is an example- 1979.305 = arsin(170000000/[c]).
How to calculate Pitch Angle?
With Phase Velocity (Vp) we can find Pitch Angle using the formula - Pitch Angle = arsin(Phase Velocity/[c]). This formula also uses Light speed in vacuum constant(s) and , Sine (sin), Inverse Sine (arsin) function(s).
Can the Pitch Angle be negative?
No, the Pitch Angle, measured in Angle cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Pitch Angle?
Pitch Angle is usually measured using the Degree[°] for Angle. Radian[°], Minute[°], Second[°] are the few other units in which Pitch Angle can be measured.
