Note 1: The absolute ratings are limiting values that are not to be exceeded under any service conditions, or the serviceability of any individual unit may be impaired. Design values for systems should include a safety factor to maintain operation within ratings under voltage
and environmental variations. A single rating may be the limitation, and simultaneous
operation at another rating may not be possible. The Life Warranty is predicated on product
operation under the specified test conditions given in this Product Specification.
Note 2: All voltages except the heater voltage are referenced to the cathode.
Note 3: It is recommended that a current-regulated power supply be used when applying heater power to a klystron. The power-supply current should be set to NPV and the heater voltage allowed to rise to that value. Once the heater voltage NPV is reached, it shall be maintained for at least 15 minutes prior to the application of beam voltage. Body coolant flow must be operating whenever heater power is applied for an extended period of time. Interlocks in the liquid-coolant system shall prevent the application of heater voltage unless the liquid-coolant flow in the body is at or above the specified minimum flow rate. The electron gun must be immersed in oil or air cooled at an air-flow rate sufficient to maintain the gun base plate at a temperature below 60°C whenever heater power is applied. If a dc heater supply is utilized,the positive terminal of the supply must be connected to the heater-cathode terminal.
Note 4: Interlocks shall be provided to prevent application of beam voltage unless the heater voltage is within ±5 percent of NPV and has been applied for the period of time specified in Note 3.
Note 5: The electron gun insulators shall be operated in an insulating oil such as Univolt 35 or equivalent.
Note 6: Interlocks shall be provided to prevent the application of beam voltage greater than
5 percent above the nameplate value and prevent the absolute ratings from being exceeded.
Note 7: Maximum operating voltage for each klystron shall be limited to its nameplate value as specified in the accompanying Test Performance Sheet(s).
Note 8: Interlocks shall be provided to prevent the cathode (beam) current from exceeding values greater than 10 percent above normal operating values and prevent the Absolute Ratings from being exceeded.
Note 9:
a. The klystron shall not be damaged when operated at maximum rated rf drive when the beam voltage is removed.
b. The klystron shall not be damaged when operated at operating beam voltage when rf
drive is removed.
Note 10: Distilled water (minimum resistivity of 1 megohm-cm) shall be used along with a filter in the cooling system to limit particle size to 100 microns.
Note 11: The beam voltage pulse width maximum is 18 microseconds at the 70-percent level.
Note 12: The load VSWR must not exceed 1.2:1 in the operating range for rated performance. A VSWR up to 1.5:1 will not cause damage to the klystron.
Note 13: The klystron may be operated at rated output power provided the output waveguide is pressurized to at least 25 psig with a high-dielectric gas such as nitrogen, dry air, or sulfur hexafluoride.
Note 14: The frequency is set at the factory and is specified as 2856 MHz.
