Options- A. 1, 2, and only
- B. 1, 2 and 3 only
- C. 1 and 3 only
- D. 2 and 3 only Discuss
Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3 only
Explanation:
An electron beam is produced by oxide coated indirectly heated cathode and is focussed and accelerated by focussing electrode.
This beam is transmitted through a glass tube. The input cavity where the beam enters the glass tube is called buncher.
As electrons move ahead they see an accelerating field for half cycle and retarding field for the other half cycle.
Therefore, some electrons are accelerated and some are retarded. This process is called velocity modulation.
The velocity modulation causes bunching of electrons. This bunching effect converts velocity modulation into density modulation of beam.
The input is fed at buncher cavity and output is taken at catcher cavity.
In a two cavity klystron only buncher and catcher cavity are used. In multi cavity klystron one or more intermediate cavities are also used.
The features of a multicavity klystron are :
1. Frequency range - 0.25 GHz to 100 GHz
2. Power output - 10 kW to several hundred kW
3. Power gain - 60 dB (nominal value)
4. Efficiency - about 40%.
A multicavity klystron is used in UHF TV transmitters, Radar transmitter and satellite communication.

Options- A. Gunn diode
- B. Tunnel diode
- C. Impatt diode
- D. Varactor diode Discuss
Correct Answer: Varactor diode
Explanation:
The limitation of solid state devices at high frequencies include those associated with transit time and junction capacitances.
The devices used are : Transferred electron oscillators (Gunn diode), Avalanche diode oscillators (Impatt diode, Trapatt diode, Masters, Lasers, Tunnel diode, Varactor etc).

Explanation:
- 8. Which mode has the lowest cut off frequency in circular wave guides?
Options- A. TE01
- B. TE11
- C. TE20
- D. TE21 Discuss
Correct Answer: TE11
Explanation:
These analysis uses cylindrical coordinates.
In circular waveguide TE11 mode has the lowest cut off frequency and is the dominant mode.
If D is diameter of waveguide
?c = 1.706 D for TE11 mode
?c = 1.029 D for TE21 mode
?c = 0.82 D for TE01 mode
?c = 1.306 D for TM01 mode.
