THE KLYSTRON ENVIRONMENT
Klystrons are highefficiency linear beam
amplifiers, with high gain
and narrow bandwidth,
designed to operate at
frequencies from UHF to
millimetric bandwidth.
To ensure efficiency,
klystrons have to be
integrated in a very specific
environment, demanding
expertise in high-voltage
operation, cooling, RF and
electromagnetic radiation
(X-rays).

High power is required in
an increasing number of
scientific projects. For these
high-power requirements
at relatively low
frequencies, power-grid
tubes offer a well adapted
and flexible solution.
Our range of high-power
tubes may be used as
high-power RF sources
in applications such as
particle accelerators,
plasma heating at the
ion-cyclotron resonance
frequency, or as regulators
or HV switches in HV
modulators.
