Pre-Lab Questions
M1- Reflex Klystron:
1- Explain the theory of operation of Reflex klystron.
2- Explain experimentally how to measure the variation of output power and
frequency with the repeller voltage of the reflex klystron.

M5- Microwave Cavities:
1- Show experimentally how we can measure the resonance frequency and
quality factor of a microwave cavity.
2- In the setup of the cavity experiment, what is the function of the second
isolator?

Note: in the reports below, QX refers to question number X found in the lab
notes of the experiment.

2- Solve and .
BOUNS: Suggest a setup in which you use the directional coupler (all
coefficients are known) to measure the (s11) of device under test, you are not
allowed to remove the device, how many detectors you will use?
NOTE: The load impedance and the operating frequencies for will be
given by the responsible TA in the Lab time.

4. Using the formula given in the lab notes for the resonance frequency find
the lowest order mode that resonate at the resonance frequency measured
in the lab given that a=23mm b=11mm c=11cm. Then find the unloaded
quality factor using the formula given in the lab notes and give reason for
the difference between the calculated and measured value, the value of m,
n and p extracted from the first part of the question.
5. Design a rectangular waveguide resonator that operates at 9 GHz (Single
mode). The waveguide should support TE10 mode only in the X band
(8GHz-12GHz). Try to choose the transverse dimensions of the
rectangular waveguide to be close to a typical rectangular waveguide and
state its name.
Bonus: solve talking into consideration that the centre frequency of the
poor source can be tuned.
