HIGH POWER KLYSTRON
FOR GROUND TERMINALS
LD7111 SERIES
17 GHz BAND, 1.7 kW, HIGH EFICIENCY, HIGH POWER GAIN
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The series of NEC LD7111 is a five-cavity Klystron Amplifier
and ideal for use in the earth-to-satellite communication sys-
tems. These are designed for operating at 1.7 kW CW over the
frequency range of 17.3 to 18.4 GHz.
The instantaneous bandwidth of minus one-decibel is at least
90 MHz over the entire 1.1 GHz range.
All tubes are forced-air-cooled at any power level. An auto-
matic channel tuner, which changes the operating frequency very
quickly and simply, is available in all the series.
Furthermore, they are of rugged and reliable design offering
long life service.
NEC LD7111 series is compatible with VKU7791Z6 by using
an additional adapter.

Note 1 :
Absolute rating should not be exceeded under continuous or transient conditions. A single absolute
rating may be the limitation and simultaneous operation at more than one absolute rating may not be
possible. Equipment design should limit voltage and environmental variations so that ratings will be
exceeded.
Note 2 :
The Klystron body should be at ground potential in operation.
Note 3 :
All voltages are referred to the cathode potential except the heater voltage.
Note 4 :
The optimum operating value is shown on a test performance sheet for each tube.
Note 5 :
Characteristics and operating values on this Data Sheet are based on performance test. These values
may be changed as a result of additional information or product improvement. NEC should be con-
sulted before using this information for equipment design. This data sheet should not be referred to a
contractual specification.
NEC Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual
property rights of third parties by or arising from use of a device described herein or any other liability arising
from use of such device. No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents, copy-
rights or other intellectual property rights of NEC Corporation or others.
