Johansson, Karin Rathsman and Stephen Molloy Influence of the Droop and Ripple of Modulator onRebecca Klystron SeviourOutput June 2011 23 February 2012 I. Introduction An IOT is a beam driven vacuum electronic RF amplifier. This document represents a comparative overview of the Inductive Output Tube (IOT). Starting with an overview of the IOT, we progress to a comparative discussion of the IOT relative to other RF amplifiers, discussing the advantages and limitations within the frame work of the RF amplifier requirements for the ESS. A discussion on the current state of the art in IOTs is presented along with the status of research programmes to develop 352MHz and 704MHz IOT’s. II. Background The Inductive Output Tube (IOT) RF amplifier was first proposed by Haeff in 1938, but not really developed into a working technology until the 1980s. Although primarily developed for the television transmitters, IOTs have been, and currently are, used on a number of international high- powered particle accelerators, such as; Diamond, LANSCE, and CERN. This has created a precedence and expertise in their use for accelerator applications. IOTs are a modified form of conventional coaxial gridded tubes, similar to the tetrode, although modified towards a linear beam structure device, similar to a Klystron. This hybrid construct is sometimes described as a cross between a klystron and a triode, hence Eimacs trade name for IOTs, the Klystrode. A schematic of an IOT, taken from [1], is shown in Figure 1.

  • Gan Or Gaas, TWT Or Klystron - Testing High Power Amplifiers for RADAR Signals Using Peak Power Meters
    Application Note GaN or GaAs, TWT or Klystron - Testing High Power Amplifiers for RADAR Signals using Peak Power Meters Vitali Penso Applications Engineer, Boonton Electronics Abstract Measuring and characterizing pulsed RF signals used in radar applications present unique challenges. Unlike communication signals, pulsed radar signals are “on” for a short time followed by a long “off” period, during “on” time the system transmits anywhere from kilowatts to megawatts of power. The high power pulsing can stress the power amplifier (PA) in a number of ways both during the on/off transitions and during prolonged “on” periods. As new PA device technologies are introduced, latest one being GaN, the behavior of the amplifier needs to be thoroughly tested and evaluated. Given the time domain nature of the pulsed RF signal, the best way to observe the performance of the amplifier is through time domain signal analysis. This article explains why the peak power meter is a must have test instrument for characterizing the behavior of pulsed RF power amplifiers (PA) used in radar systems. Radar Power Amplifier Technology Overview Peak Power Meter for Pulsed RADAR Measurements Before we look at the peak power meter and its capabilities, let’s The most critical analysis of the pulsed RF signal takes place in the look at different technologies used in high power amplifiers (HPA) time domain.

  • Klystron Gun Arcing and Modulator Protection
    SLAC-PUB-10435 KLYSTRON GUN ARCING AND MODULATOR PROTECTION S.L. Gold Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Menlo Park, CA USA Abstract The demand for 500 kV and 265 amperes peak to power an X-Band klystron brings up protection issues for klystron faults and the energy dumped into the arc from the modulator. This situation is made worse when more than one klystron will be driven from a single modulator, such as the existing schemes for running two and eight klystrons. High power pulsed klystrons have traditionally be powered by line type modulators which match the driving impedance with the load impedance and therefore current limit at twice the operating current. Multiple klystrons have the added problems of a lower modulator source impedance and added stray capacitance, which converts into appreciable energy at high voltages like 500kV. SLAC has measured the energy dumped into klystron arcs in a single and dual klystron configuration at the 400 to 450kV level and found interesting characteristics in the arc formation. The author will present measured data from klystron arcs powered from line-type modulators in several configurations. The questions arise as to how the newly designed solid-state modulators, running multiple tubes, will react to a klystron arc and how much energy will be dumped into the arc. 1. INTRODUCTION The amount of protection required for a gun arc or a defocused beam in a microwave tube is a continual source of controversy and debate. Historically, tube companies have set protection requirements by their own experience in test. Body current interception was thought to be limited to 10 joules maximum and shutdown within 10 microseconds.
