A study of the electrodynamical properties of gyrotron coaxial cavities using a partially-conical rod is made. On the basis of a geometrical criterion for the occurrence of high-Q resonances, it turns out to be possible to discriminate certain classes of TE modes by keeping to a minimum value their diffraction Q factors. In particular for an especially designed cavity only TE{sub 0,2} and TE{sub 1,3} modes appear to have strong resonance in the 8-14 GHz range as a result of the action of the coaxial insert.
