Abstract :
This study was motivated by the desire to increase the output power of gyrotrons in long pulse and continuous regimes. Since the admissible power level is determined by the density of ohmic losses in resonator walls, to increase the radiated power one should operate in higher order modes. The stability of operation in such regimes was studied numerically by using the code MAGY.
