NATIONAL ASTRONOMY AND IONOSPHERE CENTER . ... Power Supply . ... Klystron . ... The tube will produce a peak power output of 1.25 MW at an average RF power output of 75 kW at a 0.06 duty factor with a minimum power gain of 35 dB. The efficiency of the tube is 35%, so 75 kW output power requires 223 kW of beam power. When the proper voltages are applied to the tube, a beam off electrons is formed at the cathode end of the tube and travels axially though the tube to the collector. ...
