Abstract

According to one embodiment, a klystron device includes a klystron body and a focusing magnetic field device. The klystron body has an electron gun section, a collector section, a plurality of cavity resonators, and a plurality of drift tubes. The cavity resonators have nose sections that face each other in an axial direction and form a gap section that is connected to the drift tubes. At least one of the cavity resonators has an electric field correction section in a part of the nose section that makes a space of the gap section different with respect to a space between the nose sections.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A klystron device comprising: a klystron body having an electron gun section that generates an electron beam, a collector section that captures the electron beam, a plurality of cavity resonators arranged between the electron gun section and the collector section, and a plurality of drift tubes that connect the plurality of cavity resonators in an axial direction; and a focusing magnetic field device to focus the electron beam,
wherein
the cavity resonators have nose sections that face each other in the axial direction and form a gap section that is connected to the drift tubes,
at least one of the cavity resonators has an electric field correction section in a part of the nose section that makes a space of the gap section different with respect to a space between the nose sections, and
the electric field correction section
protrudes from the nose section in a radial direction of the cavity resonator and reduces the space of the gap section,
is recessed from the nose section in a circumferential direction of the cavity resonator and increases the space of the gap section, or
protrudes from the nose section in the radial direction of the cavity resonator to reduce the space of the gap section, and is recessed from the nose section in the circumferential direction of the cavity resonator to increase the space of the gap section.

2. The klystron device of claim 1 , wherein
the electric field correction section is provided at a location away from the drift tubes in the nose section.

3. The klystron device of claim 1 , wherein
the cavity resonator is a coaxial TM010 mode and the plurality of drift tubes are located on a circumference concentric with the cavity resonator.

4. The klystron device of claim 3 , wherein
a diameter of the drift tubes is at least 0.2 times a cutoff diameter of a TE11 mode at a resonant frequency of the cavity resonator.

5. A klystron device comprising: a klystron body having an electron gun section that generates an electron beam, a collector section that captures the electron beam, a plurality of cavity resonators arranged between the electron gun section and the collector section, and a plurality of drift tubes that connect the plurality of cavity resonators in an axial direction; and a focusing magnetic field device to focus the electron beam,
wherein
the cavity resonators have nose sections that face each other in the axial direction and form a gap section that is connected to the drift tubes, and
at least one of the cavity resonators has a cavity resonator voltage correction section that is provided at a position of the nose section corresponding to a circumferential direction of the cavity resonator and that increases a space of the gap section.

6. The klystron device of claim 5 , wherein
the cavity resonator voltage correction section makes the space of the gap section largest at a position in a circumferential direction passing through a center of the drift tubes, and makes the space of the gap section smaller at a position on a center side and outer side of the cavity resonator in a radial direction than a position in the circumferential direction passing through the center of the drift tubes.

7. The klystron device of claim 6 , wherein
the cavity resonator voltage correction section changes the space of the gap section in steps.

8. The klystron device of claim 7 , wherein
the cavity resonator is a coaxial TM010 mode, and the plurality of drift tubes are located on a circumference concentric with the cavity resonator.

9. The klystron device of claim 8 , wherein
a diameter of the drift tubes is at least 0.35 times a cutoff diameter of a TE11 mode at a resonant frequency of the cavity resonator.

10. The klystron device of claim 5 , wherein
the cavity resonator is a coaxial TM010 mode and the plurality of drift tubes are located on a circumference concentric with the cavity resonator.

11. The klystron device of claim 10 , wherein
a diameter of the drift tubes is at least 0.35 times a cutoff diameter of a TE11 mode at a resonant frequency of the cavity resonator.
