摘要:
A klystron comprises an electron gun which emits electron beams, a cavity resonator which imparts velocity modulation to the electron beams, a cavity resonator which converts the power of the electron beams into microwave power, a drift tube interconnecting the cavity resonators, and a vacuum gate valve provided on the drift tube.
摘要:
A microwave amplifier tube having a first and a second ring resonator of which the first serves as a driver resonator and the second serves as an output resonator. By means of a cathode system an electron beam rotating about the ring axis at the frequency of a control signal is generated. The electron beam is accelerated by a direct voltage and enters the second ring resonator which is tuned to the same frequency as the first resonator. The electron beam influences a high-frequency electromagnetic field in the second resonator and delivers a part of its energy to said second resonator. In order to facilitate equalization of the angular phase velocities in the two resonators, the ring resonators are provided above each other in the direction of the ring axis and the electron beam passes through the first and the second ring resonator parallel to the ring axis.
摘要:
The velocity modulation microwave tube includes an electron gun for projecting a stream of electrons over an elongated beam path to a collector structure. An input circuit and an output circuit are disposed at the upstream and downstream ends, respectively, of the beam for applying microwave energy to be amplified to the tube and for extracting the amplified microwave energy from the beam. A penultimate resonator circuit, tuned for a mode of resonance at a frequency near the passband of the tube, is provided just upstream of the output circuit for bunching the current density of the beam passing into the output circuit. A harmonic floating resonator structure is disclosed along the beam path intermediate the input circuit and the penultimate resonator. The harmonic resonator is tuned for a mode of resonance approximately at a frequency corresponding to a harmonic higher than the first of the center frequency of the passband of the tube. The harmonic resonator serves as a prebuncher to bunching the electrons of the beam prior to their entering the final stage of bunching performed by the penultimate floating resonator. The combined action of the harmonic prebuncher resonator and the penultimate final buncher resonator is to substantially increase the radio frequency conversion efficiency of the tube.
