Abstract

AD/E band, 1 kW CW four cavity klystron tube has been successfully developed at the Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute (CEERI), Pilani. The main building blocks of this tube are electron gun, magnetic focussing system, RF cavities and collector. Design of each of these has been worked out and is presented in this paper.
