Abstract
A klystron is provided for supplying power with optimum efficiency across a variable impedance load. To attain this result, the field in the output cavity of a klystron is detected by a probe. This field supplies the image of the voltage at the terminals of the interaction gap. The signal supplied by the probe is used for adjusting the amplitude of the ultra-high frequency voltage applied to the input cavity so that the voltage of the terminals of the interaction gap remains less than the tolerable maximum whatever the ratio of standing waves reflected back by the output device.
