| Title: The Klystron - Theory and Applications |
| Abstract: The Klystron was invented in 1938 by the Varian brothers in Palo Alto, California. Sixty years later, this technology is still in regular use and the state of the art is being continuously advanced. The klystron is an RF amplifier that utilises velocity modulation of an electron beam, which travels in a vacuum. The theory of operation and the physics inside the klystron will be discussed, as will the characteristics and applications of the device. |
