EXPERIMENT NO. 2 Aim : To Study about Klystron Power Supply. Apparatus :
Klystron Power Supply Klystron Mount Isolator Frequency Meter Variable Attenuator Detector Mount Oscilloscope BNC Connector Cooling Fan
Theory :
Klystron Power Supply, is a state-of-the-art solid-state, regulated power supply for operating low power Klystrons. Klystron Power Supply For the klystron based microwave bench. Klystron power supply generates required beam and repeller voltage for the X-Band klystron tube like 2K25. It is very stable and contains the short circuit protection circuit. Also it has amplitude and frequency modulation circuits for the generation of 1 KHz square wave and the saw tooth wave. • • • • • • • • • •

Procedure :
1. Set the work bench as per block diagram. 2. When power supply is off from mains : Beam fully anticlockwise. Repeller fully clockwise. 3. HT ‘OFF’. 4. Mod : AM 5. Meta switch :V (volts) 6. Switch ON power supply from mains. 7. Slowly increase beam voltage up to 300 volts. 8. Keep meta switch on ‘Repel’ & observe square wave on CRO. Measure voltage on it. 9. Keep meta switch on ‘c’ & measure current(mA). 10. Take readings for different ‘Repel’ voltages & note down readings. 11. Calculate output power for corresponding volt & current. 12. Plot graph of o/p power versus repeller volt.
