A new high power electron tube, the Klystrode, combining features of t
he klystron and the tetrode, is being used in UHF. TV and scientific s
ervice. The efficiency, reliability, and other capabilities of the Kly
strode will be valuable for UHF industrial applications. This paper pr
esents the principles of the Klystrode and descriptions of its perform
ance in TV and scientific applications.
