New technical opportunities for UHF television transmitters
Abstract
Prospects for improvements in the area of UHF television transmitter efficiency are investigated. Conventional klystrons, tetrodes, extended interaction gap klystrons, transistors, and multi-element depressed collector klystrons are considered. The multi-element depressed collector is determined to be the most promising contender for improved efficiency in UHF television. Estimates of its efficiency ranged as high as 30 percent which would put UHF and VHF power generation on a par.
