Development of High-Power Low-Voltage C-Band Klystron for Economic Application

Resumo

In the paper, we present the development of the powerful multiple-beam klystron amplifier with the peak output power of 3.2 MW and operating frequency of 5712 MHz. We show the capability of suppressing the high-voltage breakdowns in the collector area and increasing the efficiency of the multiple-beam klystron owing to alignment of the electric fields in the output cascade.
