Johansson, Karin Rathsman and Stephen Molloy Influence of the Droop and Ripple of Modulator onRebecca Klystron SeviourOutput June 2011 23 February 2012 I. Introduction An IOT is a beam driven vacuum electronic RF amplifier. This document represents a comparative overview of the Inductive Output Tube (IOT). Starting with an overview of the IOT, we progress to a comparative discussion of the IOT relative to other RF amplifiers, discussing the advantages and limitations within the frame work of the RF amplifier requirements for the ESS. A discussion on the current state of the art in IOTs is presented along with the status of research programmes to develop 352MHz and 704MHz IOT’s. II. Background The Inductive Output Tube (IOT) RF amplifier was first proposed by Haeff in 1938, but not really developed into a working technology until the 1980s. Although primarily developed for the television transmitters, IOTs have been, and currently are, used on a number of international high- powered particle accelerators, such as; Diamond, LANSCE, and CERN. This has created a precedence and expertise in their use for accelerator applications. IOTs are a modified form of conventional coaxial gridded tubes, similar to the tetrode, although modified towards a linear beam structure device, similar to a Klystron. This hybrid construct is sometimes described as a cross between a klystron and a triode, hence Eimacs trade name for IOTs, the Klystrode. A schematic of an IOT, taken from [1], is shown in Figure 1.

ABSTRACT A novel slow-wave structure of the traveling-wave tube consisting of rings and rectangular coupled transmission lines is modeled, analyzed, and designed in the frequency range of 1.89-2.72 GHz. The dispersion and interaction impedance characteristics are investigated using High Frequency Structure Simulator, HFSS, and a power run is carried out using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) code, VSim. The performance of the design providing a better output power, gain, bandwidth, and efficiency is compared to the conventional and existing designs by implementing cold- and hot-test simulations. In addition, an electron gun and periodic permanent magnet, PPM, is designed using EGUN code and ANSYS Maxwell, respectively.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor Paul Tasker (School of Engineering, Cardiff University). Abstract Hoang, L. 2019. High Power Radio Frequency Solid-State Amplifiers and Combiners for Particle Accelerators. From module to system design approach. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1881. 98 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0818-0. The rise of Big Science projects brings issues related to the energy consumption and the associated environmental impacts of such large-scale facilities. Therefore, environmentally- sustainable developments are undertaken towards the adoption of energy savings and improved energy-efficient approaches. The advent of the superconducting (SC) radio frequency (RF) accelerating cavity is bringing answers to these issues. Such superconducting RF (SRF) cavity is made of niobium that allows much higher accelerating gradients with a minimization of the energy consumption. The SC RF technology is increasingly used in many modern particle accelerators, including: the European Spallation Source (ESS), the X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS)-II and the proposed International Linear Collider (ILC).

  • Review of Available Power Sources
    Review of Available Power Sources Carl Beard CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory Keckwick Lane, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4AD, UK Corresponding author: Carl Beard CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory Warrington WA4 4AD, UK Phone: +44 (0)1925 603588 FAX: +44 (0)1925 603124 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Klystrons and triodes have been the accepted choice for particle accelerators because they produce high power RF and offer high gain (60 dB) with efficiencies of ~50%. Although fairly new to the market, IOTs have become available at L-band frequencies and have maintained their high efficiency. The development of Superconducting RF at the L- band frequency allows IOTs to become the choice for future accelerator programs. Due to the operational nature of SRF technology in energy recovery mode, there is no longer the requirement for large amounts of RF power from single sources. This report reviews some of the developments in RF power sources suitable for ERLs. Keywords: Klystron, Inductive Output Tube, IOT, Power Sources, Radio Frequency. 1. KLYSTRONS Invented in the late 1930’s by the Varian brothers, Klystrons contain three separate sections, the gun region, the RF interaction region, and the collector (figure 1). A typical klystron would contain a thermionic gun, several RF cavities and a collector to retrieve the spent electrons. A DC electron beam is emitted from the gun, and in the absence of RF the electrons travel through the drift tube and would disperse in the collector. The electron beam is magnetically focused to counter the effect of space charge growth through the drift tube section.
