Description

I will present the the issues that we encountered and ultimately overcame while testing and commissioning our new 300kW class klystron. Issues such as unexpected mod-anode PS ripple frequencies, HV electro-static shielding, correct biasing of the mod-anode electrode during a fast HV fault, HV turn-on transients, filament resistance changes, etc.
