Reflex Klystron by Dr. Sudhansu Kumar Pati 1
Klystrons
There are two basic configurations of Klystron tubes, One is called reflex
klystron, used as a low-power microwave oscillator, and another is called
multicavity klystron, used as a low power microwave amplifier.
Reflex Klystron d = Cavity gap
L = length of repeller from cavity.
V0 = Anode voltage/ DC Voltage
Vs = RF Voltage
Vr = repeller voltage
• The velocity modulated electrons are bunched together and loose their K.E.
when they encounter the positive cycle of the cavity RF field.
• Power delivered by the bunched electrons to the cavity > power loss in the
cavity system—Produce microwave oscillations.
• Power delivered by the bunched electrons to the cavity = Total power loss in the
cavity system—A steady microwave oscillation is generated at resonant
frequency of the cavity.
