ADVANCED KLYSTRON STUDY
Abstract
Matrix methods are used to obtain a tractable theory of a broadband multiresonator klystron in the presence of a single space-charge wave. The theory reveals how various forms of wide pass band functions can be obtained. An exemplary broadband tube design is dis ussed. The matrix theory is also extended to include the effects of all space-charge harmonics in a orm which in principle permits one to write matrix descriptions of klystrons by inspection. The large-signal multiresonator klystron problem is formulated in terms of a displacement vector field and the vector normal modes of a structure. Specific use is made of the infinite beam model to obtain an exact expression for large signal operation of two-resonator klystrons. Results generally have upheld the idea that the klystron can be built as a broadband device with bandwidths exceeding 20% and can also be designed to exhibit sophisticated phase versus frequency characteristics.
