The paper shows the calculation of the resonant frequency, Q-value and field profiles of the eigenmodes of tapered gyrotron resonators, taking into account the coupling of modes induced by the taper. The mode coupling is negligible for taper angles of only a few degrees, but must be taken into account if the taper angle exceeds about 10°.
