Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) is currently building and will deliver in early 2014 two solid-state pulsed klystron transmitters. Though not identical, the units are similar in design, and will be delivered to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Daresbury Laboratory in England. DTI’s goal across these two projects is to develop a complete package which can subsequently be marketed in the high peak power laboratory transmitter market. The modulator is a pulse transformer-coupled hybrid system, including ancillary klystron components (i.e., focus coil, socket) but not the actual klystron tube. Both systems employ a relatively simple modulator, consisting of an energy storage capacitor, a high voltage series switch, a step-up pulse transformer, and a passive pulse-flattening circuit. This arrangement gives an extremely flat pulse and allows the use of a moderate value of storage capacitor. The DTI switch can open or close as commanded, so the pulse width is adjusted by the gate pulse to the system.
