Annotation Gyrotrons with opened cavities which consist of two confocal cylindrical mirrors are promising sources of electromagnetic radiation in submillimeter range because of a sufficient level of output power, frequency stability and the possibility of tuning the operating frequency over a wide range. It is necessary for a large number of scientific and practical applications. In this paper for efficiently excite oscillations of the electrodynamic system of a confocal CRM-gyrotron in 4-millimeter wavelength range we propose to use a sheet helical electron beam formed by the planar magnetron injection gun in an adiabatically increasing magnetic field of the order of 3 T in the cavity region. In the paper we offer the pulsed magnetic system which creates a magnetic field with a high degree of uniformity in the cavity region and the field with optimal distribution for adiabatic input of electron beam. The possibility of forming a helical sheet of an electron beam with a high value of the pitch-factor and low-velocity and electron energies spread was shown as a result of the trajectory analysis.
