A time-domain theory of gyroklystrons with diffraction input and output has been developed. The theory is based on the description of the wave excitation and propagation by a parabolic equation. The results of the simulations are in good agreement with the experimental studies of two-cavity gyroklystrons operating at the first and second cyclotron harmonics. Along with the basic characteristics of the amplification regimes, such as the gain and efficiency, the developed method makes it possible to define the conditions of spurious self-excitation and frequency-locking by an external signal.
