Abstract
Two research programs are in progress to develop W-band traveling wave tubes (TWTs). One uses a folded waveguide (fwg) slow-wave circuit and the other uses a novel, planar meander line circuit. Both devices are currently being assembled. The predicted performance, fabrication methods and challenges, and measured data to date were presented
