C-Band Klystrons
VKC7980 - Wide Bandwidth Series
The Wide Bandwidth C-Band klystron series is designed for use in
ground based earth-to-satellite communication amplifiers. This family
of klystrons provides a minimum output power of 3000 watts over an
instantaneous bandwidth of 80 MHz. These klystrons are configured
to provide users with 12 channels thus allowing 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.
