Abstract
A travelling wave resonant ring has been developed at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) to test 325 MHz radio frequency (RF) power couplers for accelerator cavities. It mainly consists of half height rectangular waveguide components. The ring has been tested for output power of 30 kW with gain of 14.4 dB. Presently, RF characterization and high power testing has been completed without RF couplers. The design, RF simulations and characterization of the entire ring, along with the high power test results, are presented in this paper.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
