Reflex Klystron Calculator

Calculate the operating frequency of a reflex klystron using a linear tuning approximation.

Using the formula:
\[ f = f_c + k \,(V_r – V_c) \] where:
\( f_c \) is the center frequency (MHz) at the reference voltage \( V_c \) (kV),
\( V_r \) is the actual reflector voltage (kV), and
\( k \) is the tuning sensitivity (MHz/kV).

* Enter all values in the specified units.

Step 1: Enter Klystron Parameters

Center Frequency, \( f_c \) (MHz):

Example: 10 MHz

Reference Reflector Voltage, \( V_c \) (kV):

Example: 4 kV

Tuning Sensitivity, \( k \) (MHz/kV):

Example: 20 MHz/kV

Actual Reflector Voltage, \( V_r \) (kV):

Example: 4.5 kV
