摘要

A novel ridge-loaded folded waveguide slow-wave structure has been firstly employed to manufacture a W-band continuous wave traveling wave tube (TWT). This letter reports the processes of the design and experimental test for this TWT. From the experimental results, over 25-W output power are produced within the operation bandwidth from 93.1 to 94.8 GHz, which is in accordance with the simulation results.
