The outstanding performance features of multi-beam klystrons enabled the application of concepts of low power integrated circuits to high power complex microwave devices (CMD). Essential features of CMDs are individual, selective, mutual matching of all sub-components that constitute the CMD, and operational interchangeability of the CMD as a complete system. The CMD concept has enabled a significant decrease in the mass and dimensions of radioelectronic systems and has substantially improved their operational parameters, especially for use in mobile systems. Examples of CMDs are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
