A THz-device, Clinotron, has been designed by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The parameters of its structrue and performance are obtained by solving the dispersion relation of the Clinotron. The conditions for stable sheet beams transport in periodic permanent magnet fields(PPM) are derived in consideration of space-charge field and cyclotron motion. The Clinotron is simulated and optimized by a three-dimensional PIC code. It gains an averaged output power of 40 W in a period and an efficiency of 4.68% at 218 GHz, when the input voltage is 4.5 kV, input current is 190 mA and the peck magnetic field of focusing PPM is 0.25 T.
