The invention provides a device and a method for performing
cold test on an intermediate
resonant cavity of a small-size sheet beam
klystron. According to the device, the two sides of an intermediate
resonant cavity are provided with through holes communicated with the two sides of a
resonant cavity body. The device comprises a tuning pin, a test output
flange and a vector network analyzer. The narrow end of the tuning pin is inserted into the through hole on the first side of the intermediate resonant cavity to form a
cavity wall of the intermediate resonant cavity, and the wide end of the tuning pin is connected with a
stepper motor. The test output
flange is fixed to the second side of the resonant cavity body, the first side of the test output
flange is a rectangular step, is inserted into the second side of the resonant cavity body and is sunk to the bottom, the center of the test output flange is provided with a
waveguide hole which has the same size with the cross section of the through hole on the second side of the intermediate resonant cavity, and a first side of the
waveguide hole is aligned at the intermediate resonant cavity. A test port of the vector network analyzer is connected to the first side of the
waveguide hole in the center of the test output flange. The
cold test device of the invention has the advantages of simple structure, small size, low cost and light weight, can be used for testing the tuning characteristics of the intermediate resonant cavity, and has broad application prospects.
