The new generation of high-power multiple-beam klystrons

A number of drawbacks of single-beam transit klystrons (i.e. narrow band, high voltages, high weight) limit their use in some applications. Multiple-beam klystrons, operating in the fundamental resonator mode, offer the possibility of dramatic improvements in performance. The advantages of multiple-...

Description
Summary:A number of drawbacks of single-beam transit klystrons (i.e. narrow band, high voltages, high weight) limit their use in some applications. Multiple-beam klystrons, operating in the fundamental resonator mode, offer the possibility of dramatic improvements in performance. The advantages of multiple-beam klystrons with regard to power supply voltages, weight, and bandwidth are described. Characteristics of production prototypes are also presented.< >
