Abstract :
The stability of gyrotwistrons against the excitation of parasitic modes is studied. A method is described which can be used to compute the nonlinear saturation amplitude of the parasites when the operating mode is present. An example relevant to driving particle accelerators (near 10 GHz and 500 kV) is discussed
