Power Klystrons Today

By M.J. Smith, G Phillips, G. Phillips

The klystron is a microwave amplifier that works on the principle of velocity modulation. Since its invention in 1937 it has undergone a number of major developments that have considerably widened the capabilities of the original concept. This book covers briefly the development of ballistic and space charge theory, and many historical references are given, but for the most part it concentrates on the more recent developments, which have been aimed at high reliability, long operating life and broad frequency coverage. It discusses some of the more common problems found in such a high-voltage, high-power device, and how to minimize them. Applications, both old and new, are also described.
