Describe the construction of a reflex klystron.

• A reflex klystron is made up of a repeller electrode and a bunch of output electrodes.

• A reflex klystron is constructed with a resonant cavity connected to an input electrode and an output electrode.

• A reflex klystron consists of a cylindrical resonant cavity, a repeller electrode, a buncher electrode, and an output cavity. The resonant cavity is connected to the repeller electrode, which is in turn connected to the buncher electrode. The output cavity is connected to the buncher electrode. The entire assembly is enclosed in a vacuum tube.

• A reflex klystron consists of a triangular resonant cavity and a square output cavity.
