To develop high frequency, broad bandwidth and low voltage traveling wave tube (TWT) the folded rectangular coaxial waveguide slow wave structure (FRCW-SWS) is proposed in this paper. Operating at overmoded condition, the proposed FRCW-SWS has relatively high operating frequency and acceptable transmission characteristics. A double ridge-loaded waveguide-to-coaxial-waveguide converter is designed and applied as the input/output coupler to incorporate the broadband characteristics of the FRCW-SWS. The hot performance of this ovennoded FRCW-TWT at W-band is investigated using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The simulation results indicate that the output power can be over 13. 7 W in the frequency range of 76 - 110 GHz , when the length of the SWS , the beam voltage and beam current are 32 nun, 3230 V and 150mA, respectively. The maximal output power is about 27. 4 W at the frequency of 108 GHz , corresponding to the RF efficiency of 5. 65%.
