A slow-wave structure, a traveling wave tube, an electronic device, and a communication system are provided. The slow-wave structure includes a folded waveguide structure, where the waveguide structure has a cycle in a longitudinal direction and an amplitude in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and at least one of an amplitude of a first part of the waveguide structure and a cycle of the first part gradually changes in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, reflection of the slow-wave structure can be reduced, backward wave oscillation can be effectively suppressed, and a wider operating bandwidth can be obtained.

A slow-wave structure, a traveling-wave tube, and a communication apparatus are provided. The slow-wave structure includes a tube housing, a slow-wave line, and a plurality of support portions. The slow-wave line and the plurality of support portions are all located inside the tube housing, and the tube housing, the slow-wave line, and the plurality of support portions are integrally connected. The plurality of support portions are sequentially spaced apart along the slow-wave line. One end of each support portion is connected to the tube housing, and the other end is connected to the slow-wave line.
