Abstract
With allowance for the results of national and foreign gyrotron developments, we analyze constraints on the gyrotron efficiency and output power stipulated by the properties of the electron beam, the processes in a resonant cavity, the output-window throughput, the scattered-radiation losses in a built-in converter, and the energy release on a collector. A comparative estimate of the influence of the factors limiting the gyrotron power and efficiency is given.
