Specialized - Klystron ·Klystron
Thermally tuned K-band reflex klystron oscillator covering approximately 23.5–24.5 GHz, tuned by an integral triode-controlled thermal mechanism.
The 2K50 Reflex Klystron (Bendix Red Bank Type TK-4) is a thermally tuned K band reflex oscillator. The tube is designed for use as a CW oscillator over the range of 23.5 kMc/sec. to 24.5 kMc/sec. The tube is thermally tuned over this frequency range by varying the grid bias voltage of a triode section incorporated in the metal en- velope. The plate of this triode section is attached to the klystron structure and thermal expansion of the plate caused by variations of plate current is transmitted to the klystron section causing a change of gap spacing and a corresponding frequency change. The wave guide coupling is accomplished. by means of a tapered wave guide which couples to the cavity through a non-resonant iris. The guide tapers in the narrow di- mension only, from the iris to a circular output window.
