A 14GHz 2kW klystron for earth stations of broadcasting satellite systems
Abstract
A klystron has been developed as a transmitting tube for earth stations of transportable or mobile type. The klystron, rather than the TWT, was chosen to make the transmitter compact. It has five cavities and mechanical pre-set tuners to cover the frequency range of 14.0 to about 14.5 GHz and employs the permanent magnet focusing. Experiments have shown that a satisfactory performance was obtained at 2 kW operation with a 50 MHz instantaneous bandwidth.
