Abstract
It is suggested that a free-electron maser based on the LIU-3000 accelerator (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna) can be made to emit in the short-wavelength part of the microwave range by using radiation at harmonics of the bounce frequency of an electron beam propagating along a helical trajectory with a large gyration radius on the transverse inhomogeneity scale of the rf field and selectively exciting a cylindrical waveguide mode whose azimuthal index is equal to the number of the harmonic.
