The theory is developed describing how the optimization of gyrotron parameters should be done taking into account two effects deteriorating the gyrotron efficiency: the spread in electron velocities and the spread in the guiding center radii. The paper starts from qualitative analysis of the problem. This simplified theory is used for making some estimates for a specific gyrotron design. The same design is then studied by using more accurate numerical methods. Results of the latter treatment agree with former qualitative predictions.
