Abstract

The X-band radar will radiate 400-kW of output power by paralleling two 250-kW klystron amplifiers. The klystron outputs will be summed into a single waveguide by properly phasing in a 3-dB short-slot hybrid. To obtain preliminary data on combining the outputs of two klystrons and switching the power between the antenna and water load, tests were conducted using two S-band 20-kW klystrons. These test results also apply at X-band since the hybrid is bilateral and linear.
