An experimental study was carried out to test high-harmonic gyroklystron amplifier concept. A two-cavity 35-GHz second-harmonic gyroklystron with the TE{sub 021} cavity mode has been built and tested in pulse operation. Output power of 258 kW with efficiency 18% and 17-dB gain have been produced at 72 kV beam voltage and 20-A beam current. Bandwidth of about 0.3 % have been observed. The restriction of the output power, efficiency and gain was caused by the spurious oscillations excited in the second cavity in the TE{sub 011} mode at the fundamental cyclotron frequency.
