A 2D quasi-analytic model has been developed for the investigation of the performance of a high-efficiency traveling wave amplifier operating at 35GHz. Simulations indicate that a relative energy spread of less than 5{percent} is sufficient to reach high efficiency. It is also shown that there is an optimal guiding magnetic field for a given geometry of the slow-wave structure. Within the range of parameters of interest, high efficiency (65{percent}) operation is feasible. We suggest a way to suppress parasitic modes which may develop in the system. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
