Abstract
A klystron with widened instantaneous passband comprises a succession of cavities separated by drift tubes, divided into three blocks. The first block comprises all that is upline from a first central cavity, the third block comprises all that is downline from a second central cavity and the second block comprises the central cavities. In each block, the sum of the lengths of the drift tubes is equal to: H+(T.times.180.degree.). H is a quantity ranging from 45 to 135 plasma degrees and T is an integer greater than or equal to zero. In at least one of the blocks, T is greater than or equal to one and the length of at least one tube of this block is greater than or equal to 135 plasma degrees. The disclosed device can be applied to wideband klystrons.
