Abstract :
A new version of the regime of electron trapping is proposed for gyro-amplifiers. The use of this regime in the cyclotron resonance maser with a weakly relativistic electron beam can simultaneously provide efficiency as high as 50%, a very broad (tens of percent) frequency band, and very weak sensitivity to the spread in electron velocity.
