Experimental K-Band Klystron VX302 ME145 (Prototype)The 2K33 reflex klystron was the first to be developed for K-band (24 GHz) operation in WWII. Its development was started at Clarendon Laboratory (Oxford), in the UK, before being taken over to the US for final development and manufacturing by Raytheon. The design was selected from one of two quite similar designs they had in development in the Clarendon Laboratory at the time. This tube, the VX302, was the other design that “never made it”. There are quite a few similarities to the 2K33, this is also a disc-seal klystron typical of British construction techniques of the era, tuned by the same cavity flexion. It appears to have the same basic resonator design as the 2K33 internally, only the external resonator parts are somewhat different and lack the matching stub. The VX302 apparently never made it past the prototype/experimental stage and was made in very limited quantities. so it is comparatively unknown. (Informations provided by Danial Stocks.) • D.J.
