Abstract
A solid state klystron comprising a switching regulator, power source, tuning adapter, and solid state oscillator utilizing supply voltages identical to those of a standard tube-type klystron.
Claims34
A solid state microwave generator for use in place of a low power tube-type klystron and operable from the klystron cathode and reflector voltage supplies comprising:
- (a) means for providing a cathode voltage;
- (b) means for providing a reflector voltage;
- (c) means responsive to said cathode voltage for reducing the voltage level of said cathode voltage to a first predetermined voltage;
- (d) tuning adapter means responsive to said reflector voltage for providing gain compensation to said reflector voltage;
- and
- (e) solid state oscillator means responsive to said first predetermined voltage and said gain compensated reflector voltage for generating an a-c output signal, said gain compensated reflector voltage determining the frequency of said a-c output signal.

A solid microwave generator for use in place of a low power tube-type klystron and operable from the klystron a-c filament and reflector voltage supplies comprising:
- (a) means for providing a-c filament voltage;
- (b) fullwave rectifier means for converting said a-c filament voltage to a d-c filament voltage;
- (c) means connected to receive said d-c filament voltage for reducing the voltage level of said d-c filament voltage to a first predetermined voltage;
- (d) means for providing a reflector voltage;
- (e) tuning adapter means responsive to said reflector voltage for providing gain compensation to said reflector voltage;
- and
- (f) solid state oscillator means being connected to receive said first predetermined voltage and said gain compensated reflector voltage for generating an a-c output signal, said gain compensated reflector voltage determining the frequency of said a-c output signal.
