Abstract
A multibeam, electrostatically focused klystron includes a plurality of conductive members, ones of which are recessed to provide input and output sections of microwave cavities, wherein focusing voltage is applied between those sections. The conductive members are either spaced along the path of multiple beams, or stacked in insulated relation, in either case being supported by glass rods within a glass envelope.
Claims13
A klystron construction comprising:
- an electron gun structure providing a plurality of electron beams, collector means receiving said electron beams, and means intermediate said gun structure and said collector means through which said electron beams pass,
- said intermediate means comprising toroidal cavities receiving said electron beams proximate the toroidal axes thereof,
- means providing an r.f. input to a first of said cavities and means receiving an r.f. output from another of said cavities farther along the path of said electron beams,
- wherein ones of said cavities comprise an input section, and an output section electrically insulated from the input section, and
- means for providing a voltage between said sections for electrostatically focusing said electron beams.
