The document describes an experiment conducted on a reflex klystron to obtain its mode curves, frequency variation for different modes, and sensitivity, electronic tuning range, and transit time. The experiment involves setting up the klystron, power supply, isolator, attenuator, frequency meter, and oscilloscope. Measurements are taken of frequency, output voltage, and repeller voltage for two modes of the klystron. Calculations are performed to determine the electronic tuning range, sensitivity, and transit time for each mode. Results are recorded in a table and graph.

The schematic configuration of reflex klystron tube is shown in the above diagram
Theory: Mechanism of Oscillation: Due to dc voltage in the cavity circuit, RF noise is generated in the cavity. This electromagnetic noise field in the cavity becomes pronounced at cavity resonant frequency. The electrons passing through the cavity gap d experience this RF field and are velocity modulated in the following manner.The electrons as shown in Fig.1 Page 2

which encountered the positive half cycle of the RF field in the gap d will be accelerated, those (reference electrons) b which encountered zero RF field will pass with unchanged original velocity, and the electrons c which encountered the negative half cycle will be retarded on entering the repeller space.
Fig.1 Bunching action of a reflex klystron
All these velocity modulated electrons will be repelled back to the cavity by the repeller due to its negative potential. The repeller distance L and the voltages can be adjusted to receive all the velocity modulated electrons at a same time on the positive peak of the cavity RF voltage cycle. Thus the velocity modulated electrons are bunched together and lose their kinetic energy when they encounter the positive cycle of the cavity RF field. This loss of energy is thus transferred to the cavity to conserve the total power. If the power delivered by the bunched electrons to the cavity is greater than the power loss in the cavity, the electromagnetic field amplitude at the resonant frequency of the cavity will increase to produce microwave oscillations. The RF power is coupled to the output load by means of a small loop which forms the center conductor of the coaxial line. When the power delivered

by the electrons becomes equal to the total power loss in the cavity system, a steady microwave oscillation is generated at resonant frequency of the cavity.
Mode of Oscillation: The bunched electrons in a reflex klystron can deliver maximum power to the cavity at any instant which corresponds to the positive peak of the RF cycle of the cavity oscillation. If T is the time period at the resonant frequency, to is the time taken by the reference electron to travel in the repeller space between entering the repeller space at b and the returning to the cavity at positive peak voltage on formatting of the bunch, then t 0=( n+3/4 )T =NT
N=n+3/4, n=0,1,2,3.,as shown in fig.2
Fig.2 Thus by adjusting repeller voltage for given dimensions of the reflex klystron, the bunching 1 3 3 ,1 , 2 can be made to occur at , N= 4 4 4 etc. for modes n = 0, 1, 2, 3, , respectively. It is obvious that the lowest order mode 3/4 occurs for a maximum value of repeller voltage when the transit time to of the electrons in the repeller space is minimum. Higher modes occur at

lower repeller voltages. Since at the highest repeller voltage the acceleration of the bunched electrons of return is maximum, the power output of the lowest mode is maximum. Modulation: By varying the reflector voltage about a d.c. value, Klystron can be frequency and amplitude modulated simultaneously. For proper square wave modulation with 100% modulation index, the reflector voltage and amplitude of the square wave should be set as shown in Fig.3. If the square wave peak to peak amplitude is Vm and Vo is the reflector d.c. voltage, the total reflector voltage will switch between (Vo+Vm) and (Vo-Vm). We have to choose Vo and Vm such that (Vo+Vm) is in the mode center and (Vo-Vm) is the non-oscillating region for proper square wave modulation. Precautions to be taken: Before switching on the Klystron power supply make sure that beam voltage knob is in minimum position and repeller voltsge knob in the maximum position.
Procedure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Arrange the set up as shown in the block diagram.
Maintain the precautionary conditions before switching on the powe supply. Adjust the beam voltage for a beam current of 12Ma. Reduce the repeller voltage to get the oscillations on a CRO. Tune the frequency meter until you get a dip in the output.Note down the
frequency. 6. Note down voltage and corresponding frequencies for different repeller voltages. 7. Go further to the next mode and repeat the above procedure.
