Abstract

Calculations related to the high frequency, step tunable gyrotrons designed to operate in the submillimeter region, as reported by workers at Fukui University and the University of Sydney are presented. The modes probably have a rotating structure, in general. Results for mode competition are very similar to those calculated previously, in spite of the rather different calculational method.
