Abstract :
The design, manufacture, and test of an S-band high power multibeam klystron (MBK) are presented in this paper. The test results indicate that the performance of the MBK satisfies the design requirement. Several technical problems, such as the oscillation of high-order modes, a decrease of the beam current under no-driver (oscillating) conditions, and the high-voltage breakdown are also discussed. Some improvements have been taken to overcome these problems. The improved tube has a beam transmission rate over 98%, and operates very stably under DC and RF conditions.
