摘      要：Provided are a traveling wave tube and a high-frequency circuit system such that the product life span of the traveling wave tube operating in multiple modes can be extended while variations in gain and amplification efficiency that accompany switching of the operation modes can be suppressed. The traveling wave tube comprises: an electron gun equipped with a cathode that releases electrons, and a heater that provides the cathode with heat energy for releasing the electrons;a helix causing an RF signal to interact with an electron beam formed from the electrons released by the electron gun;a collector for catching the electron beam emitted by the helix;an anode whereby the electrons released from the electron gun are guided into the helix;and a magnetic field application device for generating a magnetic field in order to change the diameter of the electron beam, said magnetic field application device being supplied with electric power for generating the magnetic field from the outside.
