English: Two reflex klystrons attached by waveguide to microwave cavities, from an ad by Varian, Inc. in an electronics magazine. At top is the Varian VA-1281 cavity with the VA-201 klystron, at bottom is the VA-1282 cavity and X-26 klystron. The reflex klystron is an obsolete vacuum tube used around World War 2 to produce microwaves. The microwave cavities, consisting of closed cylindrical metal containers, serve as tuned circuits, determining the resonant frequency.of the oscillators. Cavity resonators are used instead of tuned circuits at microwave frequencies because the size of discrete inductors and capacitors required would be very small. They can have much higher Q_factor than LC circuits, approaching the frequency stability of quartz crystals.
This image is from an advertisement by Varian, Inc. without a copyright notice published in a 1955 magazine. In the United States, advertisements published in collective works (magazines and newspapers) are not covered by the copyright notice for the entire collective work. (See U.S. Copyright Office Circular 3, "Copyright Notice", page 3, "Contributions to Collective Works".) Since the advertisement was published before 1978 without a copyright notice, it falls into the public domain.
