Abstract	A 6 MeV, X-band on-axis SW electron linear accelerating guide is being developed in Accelerator laboratory of Tsinghua University. It can be suitable for portable radiation therapy and radiography. The design, manufacture and high power test of the guide are given in this paper. The guide is 38 cm long and contains 25 accelerating cells with 24 coupling cells, operated in the π/2 mode. The RF power source is a pulsed magnetron at 9300 MHz with 1.5 MW peak power. The results of beam tests are following: the electron energy is more than 6 MeV at 50 mA and focal spot size is less than φ 1.5 mm without any focusing solenoid.
