The reflex klystron uses a single-cavity resonator to modulate the RF beam and extract energy from it. The construction of a reflex klystron is shown in Fig. 8.11. In its basic form, the tube consists of the following elements: A cathodeFocusing electrode at cathode potentialCoaxial line or reentrant-type cavity resonator, which also serves as an anodeRepeller or reflector electrode, which is operated at a moderately negative potential with respect to the cathode

The underlying idea behind the perturbation technique is that the presence of a ‘small’ size dielectric sample inside a resonant cavity causes the shift in the resonant frequency and the cavity’s quality factor falls. Here, ‘small’ means the sample’s volume is considerably smaller than the cavity’s size. The observed changes in frequency and the quality factor of the cavity are used to calculate the complex permittivity of the material under test. Figure 1 is the block diagram of the experimental setup of microwave cavity spectrometer. In this setup, a signal frequency, near cavity resonance, is generated by a reflex klystron by mechanical tuning and setting of voltage. An oscilloscope sends saw-tooth ramp voltage, and a chopper signal of 31 kHz is impressed on the klystron repeller to produce an AC signal of the desired frequency. This chopper signal enables the tuned amplifier to detect the signal by the RF detector. The second derivative of the signal is fed to one channel of the oscilloscope. A signal from the Klystron was sent to the marker mixture along with harmonics of the frequency standard. The two signals are compared by a tuned radio receiver, and the two markers were generated and displayed on the second channel of the oscilloscope. A permanent record of the signal and two markers is taken on dual pen chart recorder. The separation of these markers is set to 4 MHz (Figure 2).
