Evaluation of the VA-876P klystron for the 20-kW X-band uplink transmitter
Abstract
Initial evaluation test results of the proposed 20 kW X band uplink klystron are presented. Operating parameters are compared with the existing DSN 20 kW S band klystrons. Measured differential RF phase sensitivities vs operating parameter changes are exhibited.
