5.1 Accessories
E3730A includes following accessories.
Magnet for the ion pump
5.2 Related devices
The following devices are needed to operate E3730A besides the accessories.
Focusing magnet VT-68922 (Optional)
X-ray shielding kit VT-69064 (Optional)
Ion pump power supply and cable (Optional)
5.2.1 Devices necessary for installation
a. Carrying device such as a hoist etc.
A crane whose height of lifting up is more than 2.7m plus the height of the oil tank is necessary for installing
the klystron tube.
b. Stand for the klystron tube
5.2.2 Devices necessary for operation
a. RF Driver
Frequency: 2856 MHz, Output power: more than 120 W (measured at the input terminal of the klystron
tube)
b. DC power supply for the focusing magnet
No.1 Coil : max. voltage 16.5Vdc, max. direct current 25.0A
No.2 Coil : max. voltage 33.0Vdc, max. direct current 38.0A
No.3 Coil : max. voltage 27.5Vdc, max. direct current 18.5A
No.4 Coil : max. voltage 38.5Vdc, max. direct current 24.0A
No.5 Coil : max. voltage 22.0Vdc, max. direct current 16.5A
No.6 Coil : max. voltage 10.0Vdc, max. direct current 10.0A
Stability of current: +/-2% max.
c. Ion pump power supply
Voltage: 3.5 +/-0.4 kV
d. Heater power supply
Voltage: 20 V max. Current: 20 A max.
e. High voltage power supply
Voltage of the High voltage power supply must be continuous from 100
kV to the rating voltage. The
accelerating electrode (tube body) must be connected to ground since accelerating electrode and output
waveguide are same potential in the klystron tube. The cathode electrode must be connected to high voltage
with negative polarity. Inverse voltage of HV pulse must be less than 100
kV.
5.2.3 Measurement item
To operate the klystron tube, measure following items.
a. Heater voltage, Heater current
A voltmeter and ammeter to check the filament voltage and current. Since the klystron
filament has a common point with the cathode and is brought to a very high voltage, the voltmeter
and the ammeter used for this check should be inserted in the primary circuit of the
filament-heating transformer and the pulse transformer. A calibration should be made to determine
the accuracy of these readings.
b. Waveforms of the HV pulse
Measure the peak voltage, peak current and width of the HV pulse imposed to the tube.
