Description

This paper presents details of existing klystrons and gyrotrons in plasma heating service. Design and performance information is presented for the VKS-8269A and VKC-7849 klystrons which provide 500 kW at 2.45 GHz and 250 kW at 4.6 GHz, respectively. Similar information is provided for the VGA-8050A and VGE-8060A gyrotrons which provide 200 kW at 28 and 60 GHz. The capabilities of klystrons and gyrotrons as a source of microwave power are reviewed. The design considerations controlling power capability and efficiency are described along with comments on reliability with information on field experience
