PRECISION FREQUENCY CONTROL OF A HIGH-POWER MILLIMETER KLYSTRON

Abstract

The design and implementation of a stable 35-kMc 30-watt cw transmitter that uses a floatingdrift-tube klystron oscillator is described. The system, both frequency and phase, locks the klystron oscillator to a low- power stable oscillator. An analysis of the phase-locked system is made and schematic diagrams are presented for the complete system. The performance of the entire stabilization system surpassed the design objectives. The spectral width is about 50 c, which is considerably better than the 250 c originally chosen for the design objective. It is felt that, with additional work, the spectral width could be narrowed further. However, the radar system does not require such a narrow bandwidth and hence this has not been attempted.
