A one dimensional theory of the stimulated Raman backscattering process in a free electron laser with rectangular hybrid wiggler (RHW) is analyzed. The dispersion relation in the rest frame of the electron beam and also a formula for the lab-frame spatial growth rate are derived. A numerical computation of the growth rate for RHW is conducted and a comparison with that for coaxial hybrid wiggler is made away from the resonance. The growth rate is found larger for the rectangular wiggler than for the coaxial wiggler. A much narrower magnetoresonance associated with the third spatial harmonic is also obtained compared to the first one.
