In 2002, Bay News 9 was the first TV station in the area to provide a VIPIR Doppler weather radar system. In 2007, Bay News 9 became the first station in Florida, and one of only a handful of stations, to provide a Dual-Pole Doppler Radar system. On Monday, January 5, 2009, Bay News 9 launched its upgraded doppler radar system called Klystron 9 ...
The Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft with its nose fairing removed, revealing its Euroradar CAPTOR AESA radar antenna. An active electronically scanned array (AESA) is a type of phased-array antenna, which is a computer-controlled antenna array in which the beam of radio waves can be electronically steered to point in different directions without moving the antenna.

400 kW klystron used for spacecraft communication at the Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex. This is a spare in storage. 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 ...
The klystron, a microwave tube, [20] was noticed in 1938 by Sperry Gyroscope, who gave the Varian brothers and Hansen a contract to do further work. [17] The Varians did not know that the British were also working on early radar technology, which by then could detect submarines, but could not be made light enough to use in airplanes. [ 10 ]
In the beginning of May 1959, the company announced its newly-produced giant klystron tube powered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s radar which recently established contact with planet Venus. The super-power klystron was developed under Rome Air Development Center sponsorship.
It is a relocatable, solid-state, all-weather radar with dual-channel, frequency diversity, remote operator controls, and a dual beam tower mounted antenna. The radar provides controllers with range azimuth of aircraft within a 60 nautical mile radius. ASR 8 used a klystron as transmitters power amplifier stage with a load of 79 kV and 40A.
The AN/APY-9 Radar is designed for Airborne Early Warning and Control operations onboard the E-2D 'Advanced Hawkeye', guiding both surface fleet and airborne assets of the United States Navy. It was designed to detect, track, and identify air and surface targets in blue-water , littoral , and overland environments, and is capable of guiding ...
McGill radar (at the J. S. Marshall Radar Observatory): [11]. 9 metre (30 feet) diameter antenna. Uses a klystron to produce a wavelength signal of 10 cm. (S-Band); Doppler since 1993 and dual polarization was added in 1999.
