THEORY:
The reflex klystron tube makes the use of the velocity modulation to transform a continuous
electron beam into microwave power electrons emitted from the cathode are accelerated and passed
through the positive resonator towards negative reflector which retards and reflects the electrons
end the electron turns back through the resonator. The accelerated electrons have the resonator at a
higher frequency. The electrons leaving the resonator will med. diff. time to return, due to change in
velocities. As a result, returning electrons group together in bunches. As the electrons bunch pass
through resonator, they interact with voltage at the resonator grids if the bunches pass the grid at
such time that the electrons are slowed down by voltage, energy will be delivered to the resonator
and klystron will oscillate.
The dimensions of resonant cavity primarily determine the frequency. Hence by changing the
volume of the resonator mechanical tuning range of klystron is possible. Also a small frequency
change can be obtained by adjusting the reflector voltage. This is called Electronic Tuning.
PROCEDURE:
1. The components are connected as shown in the figure.
2. The variable attenuators are set at the maximum position.
3. The mod switch of klystron supply tube is set to the CW position.
4. Beam voltage control knob to fully anti-clockwise and reflector voltage control knob to fully
clockwise. Meter switch is OFF. The knob of frequency meter is rotated to one side fully. The
klystron power supply is turned ON.
5. The DC microampere meter is connected with detector.
6. The beam voltage switch is put on and the beam voltage knob is rotated clockwise slowly up to
300V meter reading and the beam current is observed on the meter by changing the meter switch to
beam current position.
7. The beam current should not increase more than 300mA.
8. The reflector voltage is changed slowly and the current meter is watched for maximum deflection
in the meter.
9. The plunger of the klystron mount is tuned for the maximum output.
10. The knob of frequency meter is rotated slowly and stopped at the position there is less output on
multimeter.
11. This observation can also be done on an oscilloscope.

BLOCK DIAGRAM:
THEORY:
The electromagnetic field at any position of the transmission line may be considered as the sum of
the traveling waves. The incident wave which propagates towards the generator and the reflected
wave is generated from a discontinuity in line or from load impedance. The superposition of the two
traveling waves results in a stand by wave along the line. The maximum field strength is found
where the waves are in phase and min., where the two waves are out of the phase, and the distance
between two successive minimas is half the wavelength of guide. The ratio of the incident field and
the reflected wave is known as the reflection coefficient.
The VSWR is the ratio between the maximum and minimum field strength along the line. Hence the
VSWR is

attenuation position. The control knobs of VSWR meter were kept as below: Range: 40-50 dB,
Input-Switch: Low-Impedance, Meter Switch: Normal, Gain (Coarse fine) - Mid-position approx.

3) The beam voltage, klystron power supply, VSWR cooling fan are switched ON.
4) The beam voltage is set at 295V. The reflector voltage knob was rotated to get deflection in
VSWR meter. The o/p was tuned by tuning the reflector voltage amplifier and frequency of AM
modulation. The plunger of Klystron Mount and Probe were tuned for maximum deflection in
VSWR meter.
Measurement of High VSWR:
5) The depth of SS tune was set slightly more for maximum VSWR. The probe was moved along a
slotted line until a minimum was indicated. The VSWR meter gain of knob and variable attenuator
was adjusted to obtain a reading of 3dB in the normal dB scale (0-10dB) of VSWR meter. The
probe was moved to the left on the slotted line until a full scale deflection was obtained on 0-10dB
scale. The probe position is noted as d1. Note another position as d2. The SS tuner and terminator

THEORY:
The device magic tee is a combination of
the E and H plane. Arm 3 is H arm and arm
4 is E arm. If the power is fed into arm 3 (H
arm), the E divides equally between arm 1
and arm 2 with the same phase and no
electric field exists in arm 4. If the power is
fed into arm 1 and arm 2 simultaneously it
is added in arm 3 (H arm) and is subtracted
in E arm.

EXPERIMENT-9
AIM: Using Microwave Communication kit, setup an experiment to study the following:
(a) HPBW measurement
(b) Polarization and Reflection of microwave
(c) Measurement of gain with and without waveguide
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Microwave satellite communication base, Microwave transmitter, Microwave receiver, Power
supply load, Metal polarization grid, Cardboard, Metal satellite.
THEORY:
Polarization:
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves containing energy associated with electric and magnetic
fields each of these fields have a transverse motion.
Angle of electric field with respect to direction of propagation, decide the polarization of wave.
Electric field if stays in one plane during propagation of wave i.e. called plane polarized. For an
antenna, the electric field runs parallel to antenna, the electric field runs parallel to antenna and the
magnetic field goes perpendicular to it .In horn antenna, Vertically plane polarized waves are
generated by an oscillator and is launched into the waveguide. The received signal will have
maximum intensity when receiver antenna is properly aligned with the transmitter and minimum
when they are 90 with each other.
Microwave reflection:
When waves are in space, they spread across a wide area. So in open space a lot of energy is lost.
The best way to prevent this is to send it via a metal tube beam being reflected by waveguide walls.
Most metals reflect microwaves through with some amount of conduction losses.

increases.
Half power beam width is angular separation between half power points on the antenna radiation
pattern, where the gain is one half the maximum value: HPBW= k/D HPBW decreases with
decreasing wavelength and increasing diameter.

RESULT:
As can be seen from the observation tables, gain increases in presence of a waveguide as opposed to
without waveguide.
Also it was seen that HPBW =
When conducting rods are placed vertically in between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver
reading is minimum. As the rods are rotated, the receiver reading increases till it reaches a
maximum value when the rods are horizontally placed. Thus vertical plane is the E-plane and
horizontal plane is the H-plane.
