About the TH3591
The TH3591 is a klystron manufactured by Thomson / Thales. Thomson/Thales L-band CW klystron at 1.3 GHz with 500 kW continuous output for particle accelerator RF power systems.
Key ratings of the TH3591 include tube type Klystron, frequency 1.3 GHz, frequency band L-band, mode CW, output power 500 kW CW and beam voltage 65 kV.
Typical applications are proton accelerator linacs, heavy ion accelerator RF, free-electron laser drivers and synchrotron booster RF. Notable features: 500 kW CW output, thomson/Thales European manufacture, accelerator physics standard and water-cooled operation.
Klystrons are linear-beam microwave amplifiers delivering high gain and high peak power. They power particle accelerators, medical linacs, radar transmitters and satellite uplinks, and are usually driven by a high-voltage pulse modulator switched by a thyratron.
