About the VKS-7852
The VKS-7852 is a klystron manufactured by CPI. L-band CW klystron at 1.3 GHz with 1 MW continuous output power for particle accelerator RF power systems and linear accelerator cavities.
Key ratings of the VKS-7852 include tube type Klystron, frequency 1.3 GHz, frequency band L-band, mode CW, output power 1 MW CW and beam voltage 80 kV.
Typical applications are particle accelerator RF drive, proton linac cavities, electron storage rings and high-energy physics facilities. Notable features: 1 MW CW output, L-band physics standard, water-cooled high-power and 40 dB gain.
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.
