Finding ways to operate satellite communications (SATCOM) high power klystrons more efficiently has a double-edged benefit. The SATCOM transmitter uses less prime power, saving uninterruptible power supply capacity, and the klystron runs cooler, significantly improving its reliability. The multistage depressed collector (MSDC) high power klystron has been specifically designed for SATCOM uplink applications and features a collector efficiency of 60 percent or greater. This improved efficiency permits a prime power savings of two to three kilowatts when operating at full power. For low operating powers under clear-sky conditions, the prime power savings could amount to five ...
