Abstract: An inductive output tube (IOT) operates in a frequency range above 1000 MHz. An output window may be provided to separate a vacuum portion of the IOT from an atmospheric pressure portion of the IOT, the output window being surrounded by a cooling air manifold, the manifold including an air input port and a plurality of apertures permitting cooling air to move from the port, through the manifold and into the atmospheric pressure portion of the IOT. The output cavity may include a liquid coolant input port; a lower circular coolant channel coupled to receive liquid coolant from the liquid coolant input port; a vertical coolant channel coupled to receive liquid coolant from the lower circular coolant channel; an upper circular coolant channel coupled to receive liquid coolant from the vertical coolant channel; and a liquid coolant exhaust port coupled to receive liquid coolant from the upper circular coolant channel.

Abstract: A linear electron beam tube has voltages provided thereto, an electron gun, and an output resonant cavity operatively arranged together. An internal body portion, an external body portion and an insulating portion are provided. The internal body portion, external body portion, and insulating portion at least partially define an annular input resonant cavity. The internal body portion is provided with a high voltage, with respect to the external body portion, and the internal and external body portions are separated by the insulating portion so that the internal and external body portions have no electrically conductive connection therebetween. The internal body portion is in electrical contact with the electron gun. The annular input resonant cavity at least partially defined by the internal and external body portions surrounds the electron gun.

Abstract: In a klystron, or other device which uses modulation of an electron beam to produce amplification of an applied high frequency signal, a collector is used to receive electrons of the beam after the amplified signal has been coupled from the device. Any secondary electrons produced by the impact of high energy electrons on the collector surface are prevented from returning back along the klystron by a periodic magnetic field produce by magnets which coaxially surround the collector.

Abstract: An electron beam tube arrangement has an output cavity resonator circuit which includes a first output cavity, a second output cavity being coupled thereto by means of a coupling loop. The coupling loop is located in the first cavity and connected to said second cavity. In one embodiment of the invention, the second cavity also contains a coupling loop which is electrically connected to that in the first output cavity.
