5 kW klystron tube used as power amplifier in UHF television transmitter, 1952. When installed, the tube projects through holes in the center of the cavity resonators, with the sides of the cavities making contact with the metal rings on the tube.

The first commercial klystron, manufactured by Westinghouse in 1940. Part of the tube is cut away to show the internal construction. On the left are the cathode and accelerating anode, which create the electron beam. In the center between the wooden supports is the drift tube, surrounded by the two donut-shaped cavity resonators: the "buncher" and the "catcher". The output terminal is visible at top. On the right is the cone shaped collector anode, which absorbs the electrons. It could generate 200 W of power at a wavelength of 40 centimeters (750 MHz) with 50% efficiency.

Klystron oscillator from 1944. The electron gun is on the right, the collector on the left. The two cavity resonators are in center, linked by a short coaxial cable to provide positive feedback.
