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 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/microwave" class="extiw" title="w:microwave">microwaves</a>. The microwave cavities, consisting of closed cylindrical metal containers, serve as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tuned_circuit" class="extiw" title="w:tuned circuit">tuned circuits</a>, determining the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/resonant_frequency" class="extiw" title="w:resonant frequency">resonant frequency</a>.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 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor" class="extiw" title="w:Q factor">Q_factor</a> than LC circuits, approaching the frequency stability of quartz crystals.
