The effect of the tilt of the electron beam axis on the gyrotron operation is investigated. It is commonly accepted that the tilt deteriorates the efficiency of cylindrical cavity gyrotrons. Our study showed that this deterioration can be mitigated by a proper displacement of the electron beam axis at the entrance. Also, in some cases, when the aftercavity interaction lowers the gyrotron efficiency, the tilt can reduce this interaction and, therefore, slightly increase the efficiency.
