A simple, highly reliable lock-in for klystron automatic frequency control is described which can be used with an unmodified commercial klystron power supply. The system is quiet enough for adequate stabilization with small amounts of klystron modulation, the noise being reduced by low-drain transistors and batteries. The system was used with success to stabilize an X-band klystron on a resonant cavity with only a 50-kc excursion of the klystron frequency, which is less than 5% of the microwave cavity and represents an electron spin resonance line broadening of less than 0.02 gauss.
