          • Circulator and high power load: <\/strong>the circulator protects the klystron for the possible reflections. It is a full power circulator and controlled by temperature control unit and manufactured by AFT. The high power water loads, in this cases, dissipate the reflected and the forward power of the klystron, since there is no cavity to deliver the power.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
