Abstract
The coupling constant ε between a relativistic electron beam and the TE10 rectangular waveguide mode is calculated. By reducing the height of the waveguide, this coupling constant may exceed the corresponding value for the operation with the TE11 circular polarized mode, under identical conditions of the electron beam. The calculation is followed by a discussion on optimum mode choice in gyro-TWA´s.
