Description

The Z153/50Z is a four-integral-cavity UHF power klystron intended as a final amplifier in the vision and sound sections of UHF television transmitters and for television transposer service. It covers 470 to 598 MHz, uses magnetic focusing and a modulating anode for beam-current control, with vapor-cooled collector and forced-air cooling of the gun and tube body.
