  The gyrotron backward wave oscillator (gyro-BWO) is a high frequency (HF) powerful oscillator for cm and mm wavelengths*,**,***.Gyro-oscillators are possible devices for accelerators techniques. For efficiency enhancement in gyro-devices we suggest profiling of guiding magnetic field Hg(z) at longitudinal direction z by special law, namely Hg(z)=Hg0*(1+alfa*(z/L)*f(z/L))**0.5 where Hg0 is amplitude of homogenous guiding magnetic field, alfa is non-homogeneity amplitude, L is waveguide length and function f(z/L))is similarly to the shape (envelope) of longitudinal distribution of HF electrical field E(z) in gyro-device along longitudinal coordinate z. For investigated gyro-BWO f(z/L)=(cos(pi*z/2L))**m, f(0)=1, f(L)=0, L=60cm, m=6 and pi=3.14. We obtained enhancing of gyro-BWO’s efficiency from 11% (homogenous distribution of guiding magnetic field) up to 32% (non-homogenous one) due to profiling of magnetic field under conditions above.
