Abstract

A new line of Ka-band klystron amplifiers is under development at the Microwave Power Products Division of Communications and Power Industries, Inc. (CPI/MPP), for use in industrial and scientific applications, as well as satellite communications. These amplifiers are air-cooled, permanent magnet focused and will be both fixed (VKA-7934A) and channel tuned (VKA-7934T). A detailed description of both development efforts is discussed.
