Abstract :
This presentation concerns concepts and computer-aided design analyses of a high efficiency klystron cw amplifier for space power applications. It derives from experience with the Varian VKS-7773 50 kW S-band cw klystron amplifier, a 28 kV 2.4 A 50 dB gain tube operating at 2450 MHz with 74.4% efficiency.
