A coaxial cavity gyrotron oscillator at a frequency of 0.34 THz is studied, which operates with a quite low magnetic field of 4.55 Tesla at the third cyclotron harmonic of the ultrahigh-order mode TE43,4. Properly choosing the depth of the longitudinal corrugations on the inner rod and optimizing the electron-beam position significantly suppress the mode competition. Nonlinear multimode simulations show the feasibility of the single-mode operation with an output power of 163 kW by using an electron beam with a voltage of 70kV and a current of 30A, which corresponds to an interaction efficiency of 9.2 % with maxim density of ohmic losses 2.9 kW/cm2.
