A complete analytical solution for Cherenkov wakefields generated by an azimuthally asymmetric annular beam propagating in a coaxial two-channel dielectric structure is presented. The transformer ratio of the annular beam Cherenkov wakefield accelerator initially proposed by R. Keinigs, M. Jones* is dramatically increased in comparison to a collinear cylindrical wakefield accelerating structure. A particle-Green's function beam dynamics code BBU-3000** to study beam breakup effects has been upgraded to incorporate annular drive beams and coaxial dielectric wakefield accelerating structures*. Beam dynamics simulations of the annular drive beam with asymmetric charge distributions have been carried out to determine the sensitivity of this method to beam imperfections in GHz and THz frequency ranges.
