C-Band Klystrons
VKC2486 - High C-Band Series
The High C-Band klystron series is designed for use in ground based
earth-to-satellite communication amplifiers. This family of klystrons
has output power specifications ranging from 3000 to 3450 watts over
40 MHz of bandwidth. With the exception of the VKC2486B and E
which are single channel, the klystrons in this series can be configured
to provide users with 6, 12, or 24 channels. These channels settings
allow operators to select preset center frequencies within seconds. As
an option, Digital Fast Tuner System (DFTS) channel changers are
available for sub-second selection of up to 50 channels.
