Abstract: The design of a W-band gyrotron traveling wave tube amplifier is presented. The device with a lossy ceramic interaction circuit operates in the fundamental harmonic TE01 circular electric mode. The 70-kV, 6-A electron beam is produced by a double anode magnetron injection gun with an average perpendicular-to-parallel velocity ratio of 1.2 and a parallel velocity spread of less than 3%. The beam-wave interaction is investigated by using a particle-in-cell code. The simulations predict that the amplifier can produce an output peak power of over 100 kW, 28% efficiency, 42 dB gain, and a 3 GHz bandwidth, respectively under the assumption of beam velocity spread 3%.
