Reflex Klystron Q The reflex klystron is a single-cavity klystron oscillator. Q It is a low-power generator of 10 to 500-mW output at a frequency range of 1 to 25 GHz. QO The electronic efficiency is about 20 to 30%. Usage: QO As laboratory source for microwave measurements, in microwave receivers, as local oscillators in commercial, military, and airborne Doppler radars. Reflex Klystron ee ee ee Cathode Electron | (e L Repeller > OT vy, snot Vo v, |= 3 Reflex Klystron Operation O The electron beam injected from the cathode is first velocity-modulated by the cavity-gap voltage. Q Allelectrons are tumed around by the repeller voltage which then pass through the cavity gap in bunches that occur once per cycle. Q On their return journey, when the bunched electrons pass through the gap during the retarding phase of the alternating field, the electrons give up their kinetic energy to the electromagnetic energy of the field in the cavity. The field within the cavity thus grows. Q Oscillator output energy is then taken from the cavity. O The electrons are finally collected by the walls of the cavity or other grounded metal parts of the tube.
