Definitions
- the invention relates to a high gain klystrode consisting of a hollow beam tube and an outcoupling resonator.
- Such a klystrode comes from the publication by Preist and Shrader: "The Klystrode - An Unusual transmitting Tube with Potential for UHF-TV" in the magazine 'Proceedings of the IEEE', Vol.70, No.11, November 1982, pages 1318 until 1325 as known.
- the gain with this klystrode is only about 20dB.
- the invention has for its object to provide a power amplifier tube with small dimensions, low manufacturing costs, high gain and very good efficiency (approx. 60%), especially for the VHF / UHF frequency range.
- the hollow beam allowed a tube concept with relatively high perveance beam (P> 2.10 -6 A / V 3/2). This means on the one hand a relatively low operating voltage and on the other hand a relatively steep characteristic curve for the grid modulation. In addition, these measures result in a high gain being achieved with a relatively coarse lattice structure.
- the cavity resonator for generating the RF power is designed as a folded cavity resonator (in-phase or approximately in-phase operation). This achieves a high degree of efficiency ( ⁇ > 60%) with high power amplification.
- the gain is more than 30dB.
- the klystrode shown in the figure consists essentially of a ring cathode 1 with a heater for generating the hollow beam (electron beam) 10.
- the ring grid 2 is provided for modulating the current of the hollow beam 10.
- two resonator slits 4 and a collector 3 are provided.
- the klystrode is operated in external resonators with tuning slides.
- a pot circle 7 grid-cathode circle
- the folded cavity resonator 5 which is used to generate the RF power, has two independent tuning slides 6 for setting the resonance frequency and the phase position (optimization) between resonator apertures 4/1 (interaction gap) and resonator apertures 4/2 (interaction gap).
- magnets 9 are integrated in the cavity resonator 5.
- a capacitive coupling capacitor 11 is provided in the pot circuit 7.
- the insulator rings made of ceramic material are provided with the reference number 12.

Eine derartige Klystrode geht aus der Veröffentlichung von Preist und Shrader: "The Klystrode - An Unusual transmitting Tube with Potential for UHF-TV" in der Zeitschrift 'Proceedings of the IEEE', Vol.70, No.11, November 1982, Seiten 1318 bis 1325 als bekannt hervor. Allerdings beträgt die Verstärkung bei dieser Klystrode nur ca. 20dB.Such a klystrode comes from the publication by Preist and Shrader: "The Klystrode - An Unusual transmitting Tube with Potential for UHF-TV" in the magazine 'Proceedings of the IEEE', Vol.70, No.11, November 1982, pages 1318 until 1325 as known. However, the gain with this klystrode is only about 20dB.
Aus der DE-PS 19 45 826 ist weiterhin ein konzentrisch aufgebautes Zweikammerklystron mit einer zentral angeordneten Kathode, je einem die Kathode konzentrisch umgebenden Einkoppel- und Auskoppelkreis, die im Bereich der Elektronenströmung gitterförmig durchbrochen sind, und einem Kollektor bekannt, wobei im Bereich der Elektronenströmung der Auskoppelkreis aus einem der Kathode zugewandten Gitter und dem Kollektor besteht, der Einkoppelkreis ein im Vergleich zum Kollektorpotential niedriges Potential aufweist und das Gitter des Auskoppelkreises ein gegenüber dem Potential des Einkoppelkreises abgesenktes Potential aufweist.From DE-PS 19 45 826 a concentrically constructed two-chamber klystron with a centrally arranged cathode, each with a coupling-in and coupling-out circuit concentrically surrounding the cathode, which are broken through in the form of a lattice in the area of the electron flow, and a collector are known, in the area of the electron flow the coupling-out circuit consists of a grid facing the cathode and the collector, the coupling-in circuit has a low potential compared to the collector potential, and the grid of the coupling-out circuit has a potential that is lower than the potential of the coupling-in circuit.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Leistungsverstärkerröhre mit geringen Abmessungen, niedrigen Herstellkosten, hoher Verstärkung und sehr gutem Wirkungsgrad (ca. 60%), insbesondere für den VHF/UHF-Frequenzbereich, zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a power amplifier tube with small dimensions, low manufacturing costs, high gain and very good efficiency (approx. 60%), especially for the VHF / UHF frequency range.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt durch die im kennzeich- nenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale.The solution of this object is achieved by the n in the labeling portion of claim 1 stated features.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist Gegenstand des Anspruchs 2.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is the subject of claim 2.
Durch die Kombination einer gittergesteuerten Hohlstrahlröhre mit einem Doppelspaltresonator werden die höheren Verstärkungswerte und ein besserer Wirkungsgrad erzielt.By combining a lattice-controlled hollow jet tube with a double-gap resonator, the higher amplification values and better efficiency are achieved.
Der Hohlstrahl erlaubt ein Röhrenkonzept mit relativ hoher Strahl-Perveanz (P>2.10-6A/V3/2). Das bedeutet zum einen eine relativ niedrige Betriebsspannung, und zum anderen eine relativ steile Kennlinie für die Gittermodulation. Außerdem haben diese Maßnahmen die Erzielung einer hohen Verstärkung bei einer relativ groben Gitterstruktur zur Folge.The hollow beam allowed a tube concept with relatively high perveance beam (P> 2.10 -6 A / V 3/2). This means on the one hand a relatively low operating voltage and on the other hand a relatively steep characteristic curve for the grid modulation. In addition, these measures result in a high gain being achieved with a relatively coarse lattice structure.
Der Hohlraumresonator zur Erzeugung der HF-Leistung ist als gefalteter Hohlraumresonator (gleichphasiger bzw. annähernd gleichphasiger Betrieb) ausgebildet. Dadurch wird ein hoher Wirkungsgrad (η>60%) bei großer Leistungsverstärkung erreicht. Die Verstärkung beträgt mehr als 30dB.The cavity resonator for generating the RF power is designed as a folded cavity resonator (in-phase or approximately in-phase operation). This achieves a high degree of efficiency (η> 60%) with high power amplification. The gain is more than 30dB.
