    E3730A OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4. Structure and theory of operation 4.1 Theory of operation A high-power klystron with multi cavities consists of an electron gun, interaction cavities for Radio Frequency (RF), a collector, an output window and an ion pump. At the electron gun section, a heated cathode emits electrons and high voltage which is applied between the cathode and an anode generates an electron flow called an electron beam.
  • Page 11 E3730A is a high-power pulsed klystron especially designed to be used as a high-power microwave source for a linear accelerator. E3730A can deliver peak output power of 50 MW with a pulse width of 4.0 micro-seconds at frequency of 2856MHz. The focusing magnet of VT-68922 is available.

  • Page 14 Particle-matter size max. 50 µm (325 mesh) 5.3 Operating hazards E3730A is a klystron operated with high output power and high voltage. Therefore, please note the following points for safety and protection of the tube. 5.3.1 High voltage This tube operates at high voltage. So that, equipments, electromagnet and klystron must be designed so that personnel cannot come in contact with operation voltages.
  • Page 15 E3730A OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and can result in blindness or other injury. Personnel must be fully protected from the microwave energy which radiates from this device. All input and output RF connections, waveguide flanges, and gaskets must be RF leak proof and properly engaged. Never operate this device without a microwave-energy-absorbing load.
  • Page 16 Medium Speed - Have a high velocity with about 100 ms High Speed - Activate as fast within 30 ms(possibly next pulse will not be applied) 6. OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 6.1. Installing an E3730A klystron 6.1.1. General 6.1.1.1. Equipment-room preparation Installation of the klystron requires the use of an appropriate handling system.
  • Page 17 E3730A OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS During handling, the protective covers for output window must be left on the tube. Be careful not to apply any pressure or shock on the tube. The klystron is designed to be supported at the collector shielding bracket or the collector pole-piece. Ceramic-metal seals at the electron gun assembly are the most vulnerable part of the klystron.
  • Page 18 Helium leak detector. 6.1.3.7. Evacuate the waveguide The E3730A klystron must not be operated at the output waveguide pressure higher than Pa (10 torr). It is recommended the output waveguide pressure is kept at less than or equal to 2.6x10...
  • Page 19 Please call immediately Electron Tube Division. 6.1.4.2. Output waveguide vacuum The E3730A klystron is designed with waveguides evacuated to less than 1.3x10 Pa (10 torr). Check the evacuating system is in normal operation and the vacuum gauge is correctly operating.
  • Page 20 When starting a new station waveguides or dummy load, careful conditioning of the waveguide system is necessary. The E3730A klystron is designed to operate with output waveguide system, in which ultra-high vacuum is kept even during RF power is on.
  • Page 21 E3730A OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Check the ultimate pressure in the waveguide system is less than 1.3x10 Pa (10 torr), and evacuating speed of the vacuum pump and pumping conductance of the vacuum channel is large enough to keep the waveguide pressure at the klystron output window less than 1.3x10 torr) even in the full power operation.
  • Page 22 E3730A OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS damage by arcing is accumulated to a particular part of electrodes. As the E3730A klystron produces very high output power, the PFN energy is dangerously high enough to give serious damage to the electron gun electrodes with a very small number of successive arcing.
  • Page 23 E3730A OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS In case of SF gas pressurization, make sure the pressure gauge is in normal operation range. Electromagnet temperature Check the electromagnet water flow is in normal range. Check the focus coil current is in normal operation range.
  • Page 24 E3730A OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ceramics. The electron gun assembly must be sealed with a plastic cover preventing the insulating ceramics from stains. Because of the size of this tube, it is not abnormal to observe changes in the internal vacuum during storage. To be able to put the stored klystron into operation quickly, the klystron ion pump shall be operated all the time.
