单词 | klystron oscillator |
释义 | > as lemmasklystron oscillator An electron tube for amplifying or generating microwave signals in which a beam of electrons from a thermionic cathode is passed through a gap in a cavity resonator across which is applied a high-frequency voltage, so that the electrons collect into bunches and on reaching a second gap induce a (larger) high-frequency voltage across it. Frequently attributive, as klystron oscillator, klyston tube.

Atomic Energy Mil. Purposes xi. 118 The varying electric field..introduces small, periodic variations in ion velocity, and has the effect of causing the ions to ‘bunch’ at a certain distance down the tube. (This same principle is used in the klystron high-frequency oscillator...) 1959 G. Troup Masers i. 1 In conventional microwave amplifiers and oscillators such as the Klystron, an alternating electromagnetic field interacts with elementary particles, electrons, by virtue of their charge. 1959 New Scientist 19 Nov. 982/3 The Jodrell radar pulses originated in a big ultra-high-frequency valve of the type known as a klystron. 1964 Listener 16 Apr. 626 (advt.)
