Abstract

A new high power electron tube, Klystrode, combining features of the klystron and the tetrode, is being used in UHF TV and scientific service.  The efficiency, reliability and other capabilities of the Klystrode will be valuable for UHF industrial applications.  This paper presents the principles of the Klystrode and descriptions of tits performance in TV and scientific applications.
