Abstract
A new variety of RF sources is studied experimentally. In the cyclotron aut oresonance maser (CARM)-gyrotron with an open "gyrotron-type" cavity, two r egimes of operation are observed: the conventional high-harmonic gyrotron r egime, and the CARM-gyrotron regime with effective radiation of the traveli ng CARM mode. The two-mode character of the electron-wave interaction in th e CARM-gyrotron regime was proved experimentally.
