How to Calculate Pitch Angle?
Pitch Angle calculator uses Pitch Angle = arsin(Phase Velocity/[c]) to calculate 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.
How to calculate Pitch Angle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Pitch Angle, enter Phase Velocity (Vp) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Pitch Angle calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1979.305 = arsin(170000000/[c]).
