We report the first observation of sideband mode competition in a gyrotron with an overmoded open waveguide resonator. Experiments were conducted in a gyrotron operating in the TE16,2 mode at 146 GHz. Up to 600 kW of power was generated in 3-{μ}s pulses at 80 kV beam voltage and up to 40 A beam current. A pair of sidebands was excited corresponding to the TE15,2 and TE17,2 modes offset by ±{}5 GHz. A multimode, multifrequency, self-consistent time-dependent code predicts the excitation of the sidebands with good accuracy.
