INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF DRIVING THE MIDDLE CAVITY OF A THREE-CAVITY KLYSTRON

Abstract

An experimental and theoretical investigation is described of the effects of driving the middle vity of a three-cavity klystron. It indicates that drive power levels within a few decibels of the power output of the tube increase the total power output or efficiency no more than proper tuning of the middle cavity. Included are preliminary results of a theoretical study based upon a combination of space-charge waves and first-order ballistic theory.
