DATA S H E E T HIGH POWER KLYSTRON FOR GROUND TERMINALS LD7111 SERIES 17 GHz BAND, 1.7 kW, HIGH EFICIENCY, HIGH POWER GAIN GENERAL DESCRIPTION The series of NEC LD7111 is a five-cavity Klystron Amplifier and ideal for use in the earth-to-satellite communication systems. These are designed for operating at 1.7 kW CW over the frequency range of 17.3 to 18.4 GHz. The instantaneous bandwidth of minus one-decibel is at least 90 MHz over the entire 1.1 GHz range. All tubes are forced-air-cooled at any power level. An automatic channel tuner, which changes the operating frequency very quickly and simply, is available in all the series. Furthermore, they are of rugged and reliable design offering long life service. NEC LD7111 series is compatible with VKU7791Z6 by using an additional adapter. FEATURES ™ Compact and Light Weight (27 kg approx.) ™ High Efficiency (The DC to RF conversion efficiency is typically 23 % or higher.) ™ High Power Gain ™ Long Life and High Stability ™ Simple Cooling System (forced-air-cooled) ™ Automatic Channel Tuner (8-12 Channels) Hand Tuner model is also available. ™ Permanent Magnet Focusing ™ Rugged Construction For safe use of microwave tubes, refer to NEC document “Safety instructions to all personnel handling electron tubes” (ET0048EJ∗V∗UM00) The information in this document is subject to change without notice.

A single absolute rating may be the limitation and simultaneous operation at more than one absolute rating may not be possible. Equipment design should limit voltage and environmental variations so that ratings will be exceeded. Note 2 : The Klystron body should be at ground potential in operation. Note 3 : All voltages are referred to the cathode potential except the heater voltage. Note 4 : The optimum operating value is shown on a test performance sheet for each tube. Note 5 : Characteristics and operating values on this Data Sheet are based on performance test. These values may be changed as a result of additional information or product improvement. NEC should be consulted before using this information for equipment design. This data sheet should not be referred to a contractual specification.
